|
|
|
“His administration was characterized by the excessive use of public force, repression of human rights defenders, arbitrary detentions and torture, events that remain unpunished.

Whatever we may be feeling in this moment —despair, rage, a desire to flee, or a deep resolve to organize like never before — we are not alone.
