Maybe people need to see it from a regime they already recognize as authoritarian to understand the risk of Covid

Aung San Suu Kyi, Peace Nobel Laureate for her defense of Civil Rights in Myanmar, has been sentenced to 4 years (reduced2) for incitement and BREAKING COVID RULES

After a coup de etat in the middle of Pandemic first panic, the military Junta has extensively used the COVID restrictions to maintain population controlled

Now they're using it in a sham trial against main democratic opositor, charged partly with Covid restrictions breaking

We are accepting this very same arbitrary, brutal control restrictions and the same criminal conception in the prosecution of those guilty of breaking them

Except you're baby naïve, you don't bring this kind of tools to power

Or do you think they will NEVER use against you?

Do u think Power will never advantage of mass control tools in case of need?

Uncomfort protest can be easily banned with the COVID excuse,
striking riots silenced thru the effective way of lockdown'em all

Not even with the rise of extreme right authoritarian parties everywhere?

The Rights of Free Movement, Public Gathering and Protest, as Free Speech are SACRED

There's NO EXCUSE, NO THREATEN, NO RISK that could justify suspending them

How would you protest against an unfair law that bans protesting?

When you can't even protest, you're under a TYRANNY

Even in the case that the Covidian fantasy (a HIGHLY beyond any other virus' records spread capacity, and high mortality in all age groups threaten); were true, WE CAN'T ACCEPT those Fundamental Rights to be limited at Power will, just at the 'Pandemic' risk whistle blow

We're giving away the tools to make our voices heard, the freedom to move with people, to share ideas, to gather in our common good; just for a Monday virus, with >99% survival chance, only dangerous to really weak people

Join any protest against it

Do it while you can

NOW
