Oppressive means done in a way that stifles, that prevents free or open action. Applied to societies, it means that a ruler, group, government, or authority acts to control, dominate, or limit some or all of the people.
It can also be applied to conditions, notably the "oppressive heat and humidity" of some tropical climates. By making people less comfortable, it discourages them, especially since physical activity increases body temperature while the body is already taxed trying to cool itself.
