Dear family in the struggle,
Because I am a Communist at heart, mind and soul, and because of my efforts to resist the oppression through legal forums, kourts, I have been and remain a victim of crimes. I have been deprived of over 300 days good time and compelled to spend over 600 days sleeping, lying, sitting, practically living on a concrete slab, in a small cell only 6' x 7' having no time out but 10 minutes to shower. I have spent at least three and a half years in "isolation" (extended lockdown).
But I will never give up, nor cease to struggle. I am a product of revolutionaries, who are willing to die for our cause.
