The Constitution of 1961in force until the October 1969 coup d’état protected the civil rights outlined in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. These included the right of Habeas Corpus, the freedom of political association, public expression, personal liberty and movement, and the right to form labour unions and to strike making Somalia a rare example in Africa. However, with the military take-over, in 1969 the situation has radically changed as all political rights and civil liberties everyone had the right to enjoy were outlawed.
