A further 32 countries are rated repressed, meaning that 3.2 billion people live in countries where civic space is either repressed or closed.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty-one countries are rated obstructed and 26 narrowed. Just nine countries were rated as open, meaning the state safeguards space for civil society and provides platforms for dialogue.
