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.

Government leaders are amazing. So often it seems they are the last to know what the people want.

My attitude is, do as much as I can while I'm free. And if I'm arrested I'll still do as much as I can.

If you want to bring an end to long-standing conflict, you have to be prepared to compromise. If either or both sides insist on getting everything that they want - that is to say 100 percent of their demands to be met, then there can never be a settlement.

Human rights and rule of law are inseparably connected.

Fear is not the natural state of civilized people.

There is nothing to be gained by being unnecessarily nasty. Violence begets violence.
