Political protests in autocratic regimes serve as a vital expression of dissent and resistance. They highlight the population's frustrations with government policies and repression. Protests can catalyze change by generating international attention and forcing the regime to confront public discontent. In some cases, they may lead to political reforms or even regime change, indicating the power of collective action. Additionally, protests can unite diverse groups within society, showing that common grievances transcend individual interests, thereby enhancing the potential for collective mobilization against oppressive governance.
