"Citizens who dare raise a voice and chronicle episodes of violations of human rights are dubbed unpatriotic elements who are motivated by foreigners who tarnish the good image of the government. And yet however we deny the fact that violations of human rights, in varying degrees of severity, exists in all countries of the world."
