“We are living under an unjust system. There is selective application of the law, one for the poor and powerless, one for the rich and powerful, one for opposition party supporters and one for ruling party supporters. The right to self-determination and self–dignity has disappeared. The ordinary person’s capacity to earn a living continues to disappear.”
