I've been to countries that operate more or less like police states, and how they feel depends on who is willing to talk about it. Sometimes, no one wants to talk - those are the worst cases.
Your observation of women singing in a park and stopping because of the police is similar to what I saw in Iran, when a woman was singing in a public place and was reprimanded by the cops.

Yes, heart-breaking to see folks silence their joy due to fear & repression.
Great (although sad) post
Yes, it was tough to write.
