hi,
At least in terms of ccTLDs*, they have guaranteed not to and the global protest might be dissuasive.
While I have spent a lot of time working on gTLDs, my view is that is anyone wants to do anything Human Rights related, should get their domain name from a safe country's ccTLD.
In terms of Copyright etc, though, no country can be trusted completely when if comes to pressure from wealthy 'property' owners.

* ccTLD - Country code Top Level Domain, e.g. .is or .fi
