English-Finnish translations for dissent

• toisinajattelu
  Poliittinen toisinajattelu on oikeus, eikä sitä koskaan voida tulkita tai tuomita kansankiihotukseksi tai rikokseksi valtion turvallisuutta vastaan. Political dissent is a right, it can never be interpreted and judged as a crime of sedition or as a crime against national security.
  Ei ole yllätys, että marxilaiseen määräysvaltaan perustuvana yhteiskuntana Kuuba on sorron linnake, jossa toisinajattelu tukahdutetaan ja vapaudet kielletään. As a society built on the imperative of Marxist domination, it is no surprise that Cuba is a bastion of repression, where dissent is crushed and freedom denied.
• olla eri mieltä
