“We have become a country where people are disappeared by a paramilitary force that hunts them down in their apartments, on city streets and country roads.”

"We have become a country where a person can be summarily executed in public for protesting that paramilitary force.”

"We have become a country whose federal government deploys military and paramilitary forces in the streets of its major cities, terrorizing the residents in the guise of protecting them.” (1/2)

“We are a country ruled by a megalomaniac whose views are openly hateful and proudly ignorant, whose avarice knows no bounds and whose claim to power is absolute. Foreign leaders try to appease him with flattery and curry his favor with gifts.”
