8:36 pm
a violent assault on two members of our security force who ended up in the hospital . the other was a case where private property was damaged close to the marlin mine are property. worth we don't focus on identity or background. so can we focus on whether a crime has been committed. from a bit of the process of the company files criminal charges of the people able to fight against the consequences they're facing at this moment. these people act because they have no alternative. this is called the resistance yes these people cannot be accused of being criminals because their intentions are most honorable. if these people risk their personal safety for their family oh it's their community and ultimately their country to encourage people who are not in favor but that does not. translated to social conflict free labor there are no social problems and some
8:37 pm
