We're nowhere near democracy. I've been released, that's all.

You should never let your fears prevent you from doing what you know is right.

I have been arrested time and time again, and my colleagues, too. I cannot guarantee that I'll not be arrested again. But it's not something that weighs on my mind. I'll do what I can while I'm free. If they arrest me again, I'll do what I can while I'm under arrest.

It is not power that corrupts but fear.

I do protect human rights, and I hope I shall always be looked up as a champion of human rights.

Democracy acknowledges the right to differ as well as the duty to settle differences peacefully. Authoritarian governments see criticism of their actions and doctrines as a challenge to combat.

Calamities that are not the result of purely natural phenomena usually have their origins, distant and obscure though they may be, in common human failings.
