I'm not talking about journalists being jailed etc, I should have given a more concrete example, I am referring to more liberal countries trying to enforce their ideologies onto more conservative countries.

I think all this stuff encroaches too much on the sovereignty of a peoples / country, which some people in this ever more globalised world don't see as a bad thing for some reason.

Do you have any concrete examples of liberal countries pushing values?

I mean as one example we can take western countries that give aid to African countries - is it right or wrong to condition the aid on ending persecution of homosexuals? Perhaps not a good example...
