Echoes of Dissent Ep 21 - Your Vote: Protest Against Their Power Echoes of Dissent Ep 21 - Your Vote: Protest Against Their Power They jail the candidates. They burn the villages. They rewrite the ballot until only the ‘safe’ names remain. So why, if voting doesn't work, do dictators, juntas and terrorists spend millions trying to stop their citizens you doing it? This week we drag you from a courtroom in Hong Kong to a burning village in Zimbabwe to a ballot box in exile, and lands on the one thing every regime on Earth agrees on: your vote is your protest against their power.
