    100 percent pure... BEEF CHUCK

    If you're a wowan, Saudi Arabia. They have adapted some beliefs similar to the Taliban where they throw battery acid in the womans face if she is "disobidient"

    I don't know which has the harshest, but Saudi Arabia would have to be up there in the top 10. This report says:
    Human Rights

    U.S. Department of State Report on Human Rights Practices - 2001
    The Saudi Arabian Government's human rights record remained poor in 2001. Citizens have neither the right nor the legal means to change their government. Security forces continued to abuse detainees and prisoners, arbitrarily arrest and detain persons, and hold them in incommunicado detention. In addition there were allegations that security forces committed torture. On October 1, the Council of Ministers approved a new law regarding punitive measures that would forbid harming detainees and to allow those accused of crimes to hire a lawyer or legal agent. The law became effective in November; however, at year's end, there were no reports of its implementation. Prolonged detention without charge is a problem. Security forces committed such abuses, in contradiction to the law, but with the acquiescence of the Government. The Mutawwa'in continued to intimidate, abuse, and detain citizens and foreigners. Most trials are closed, and defendants usually appear before judges without legal counsel. The Government infringes on citizens' privacy rights. The Government prohibits or restricts freedom of speech, the press, assembly, association, religion, and movement. However, during the year, the Government continued to tolerate a wider range of debate and criticism in the press concerning domestic issues. Other continuing problems included discrimination and violence against women, discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, and strict limitations on worker rights.

    The Government views its interpretation of Islamic law as its sole source of guidance on human rights and disagrees with internationally accepted definitions of human rights. However, in 2000 and during the year, the Government initiated limited measures to participate in international human rights mechanisms, such as its approval of the October legislation, which the Government claimed would address some of its obligations under the Convention Against Torture or Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

    =========
    Despite its poor record, the Saudis have made some improvements, because it is mindful of the opinions of the international community.
    The worst countries would be those who do not respect the opinions of the outside world or where there is no stable government
    eg Zimbabwe Somalia Libya Iran, and countries where Sharia law is the only legal system.

    although i have never been there myself,from all of the people that have talked to me about it,my guess would have been Turkey.every one has heard of the people that have been thrown into turkish prisons but i actually knew some turkish brothers who had fled that country and they had incredible stories about the corruption in the government and at all levels of the police.bribery it seems was possible for even serious offences.

    Don't know which is harshest but I know someone who chewed gum in Singapore and was sentenced to a whipping. If you spit on the sidewalk he was told he would be jailed for many years.

    North Korea. The "dear leader", King Jong Un rules as a god-king. You are trained from birth to praise him, you are never allowed to go anywhere without a permit unless you're a high ranking military official, no outside media is allowed, and if you say even the SLIGHTEST thing bad about the regeme (like complaining that you're hungry because almost all of their money goes to the military rather than feeding the starving people) you AND your ENTIRE family are put in a camp modeled after Stalin's gulag where you are worked like a dog in disease filled conditions with little food, and are not even considered a human being.
