a dictatorship. i this is one special edition of ton, swore for explorations waiting chung's magazine. it carries the famous article, democracy, or new dictatorship, a long article with many things that we don't remember. but one sentence will remember where he says that dan shopping turns out to be the same kind of tick de terrace mo. and 3 days later he was arrested grandmother i shouted go to democracy wall and tell people that waging chung has been arrested. will you be paula? at that time i was it insisted shibby i saw a lighting man and the electrician. do you mean to the lighting for the trial? yes, for next day,
