A governing group unfairly or cruelly is one that exercises power in a manner that violates the rights and freedoms of its citizens, often through oppressive laws, discrimination, or violence. Such a group may prioritize its own interests over the welfare of the population, leading to widespread injustice, inequality, and suffering. This can manifest in various forms, including authoritarian rule, corruption, and systemic abuse against marginalized communities. Ultimately, the actions of such a governing body undermine the principles of justice and human dignity.
