Stop… reflect… a person you deeply loved, was given the power from this new government to come in the middle of the night and take away from you, your beloved relatives and friends. You know who captured them… but you do not know where they are. All you know is that if you try and help them you can end up like them if not worse.

Keep thinking for a while… that those captured are being tortured and accused of false crimes. You know that they are detained somewhere secret because they might be an obstacle to those in power… they are the victims used to warn you and others not to act.

This is reality… a current injustice that is happening right now while you are reading… What will you do? What are you going to do?
