“It is nice to speak out the words of freedom and peace but it is much nicer to stand behind those words so strongly and honourably!

“Knowing that you are behind prison walls is a very bad experience for us. We know that beuty cannot be imprisoned but...This gives us strength. We gain power from your and all other honourable academics’ stance.
