Government doesn’t exist to fulfill the wishes of individuals. Its goal is securing the collective national well-being of the country as a whole - something no given group of individuals can do. And when there’s a threat to country’s survival (which is probably the upcoming World War Three in this case), the collective interest comes to oppose the individual freedom because suddenly everyone becomes very dependant on one another.

That being said, I don’t support those measures. What I’m saying is the problem is deeper than bad government.
