Question pretext
I am going to read you some brief descriptions of people and their situations. I would like you to listen to the descriptions and tell me how free these people
are to express themselves without fear of reprisal from their government.
For each vignette ask:
How free do you think [name] [is] to express [him-her]self without fear of government reprisal? Please circle one option per vignette.
Literal question
[Sonny] lives in fear of being harassed for his political views. Everyone
he knows who has spoken out against the government has been arrested or
taken away. He never says a word about anything the government does,
not even when he is at home alone with his family.
