      Facts are facts. She was not a political opponent because she did not get enough support to even participate in the debate. She was arrested for breaking the law, not for being a political opponent

                  It’s a representative democracy. If we can’t agree on at least this, then your opinions are not grounded in reality and there is no point talking further.
