They were always mentioning  human and citizens’ rights. A little bit later they suddenly changed. As if they were not the same people back in 1945-1950. They changed their skins like snakes.

They were prisoning people who had first come to their minds and torturing them. They were holding them in the prisons of courts for two years.

They were proudly harming intellectuals and journalists in front of the eyes of the public. Many people were tortured and rotted in prisons in their period. They did everything to make courts their slaves..."
