"Authoritarianism poses different challenges. In Russia, China, Nicaragua, Belarus, Iran and elsewhere, the bank accounts of human-rights defenders and civil-society groups are routinely frozen for “suspicious” activity. Donations from foreign organizations are typically illegal, leaving these groups struggling to use the existing banking system to keep their operations going."

Something most people living in the "developed world" take for granted. Real humanitarian work can't be done with permissioned money.
