They want me to stop what I’m doing. And I do not want to stop. So that is the framework within which I act. Whatever else they may come up with is not my concern. Since they have seized all power in the country, the day after tomorrow they could go down a list of opposition figures and smash each of us over the head with a brick outside our apartment building. So what then? Should everyone be afraid and never leave home?
