release all the political prisoners and punish the real organizers
of the March 1 crimes. To recap, since April 7, such protests have
been organized each Friday.

to the prosecutor general’s office but so far there has been no

represents political persecution of the opposition by the authorities
and we raise our voice against this unlawfulness," is said in today’s
letter-complaint.
