Questions and instructions

Question pretext

I am going to read you some brief descriptions of people and their situations. I would like you to listen to the descriptions and tell me how free these people
are to express themselves without fear of reprisal from their government.
For each vignette ask:
How free do you think [name] [is] to express [him-her]self without fear of government reprisal? Please circle one option per vignette.

Literal question

[Bob] has political views at odds with the government. He has heard of
people occasionally being arrested for speaking out against the
government, and government leaders sometimes make political speeches
condemning those who criticize. He sometimes writes letters to
newspapers about politics, but he is careful not to use his real name.
