Answer:
Oppression is not permissible. Allah the Exalted said in the Holy Hadith:
O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.يا عبادي إني حرمت الظلم على نفسي وجعلته بينكم محرما فلا تظالموا
Sahih Muslim 2577a
Therefore, it is not permissible to oppress anyone. Yes.
