The attributed charge, after several stages of changing the charges, was finally interpreted as propaganda against the system. If sympathizing and writing about the suffering of the protesters especially those who lost their sight as a result of lead pellets, is considered propaganda against the system, I am proud of it, if medical aid and help to solve the medical problems of the injured; a duty that was the government's, but I took part of it, and was imprisoned for it, is considered propaganda against the system, I would repeat it."
