He added: "Since January 2021, the UN, CPT, EC and human rights institutions have all shut their eyes, mouths and ears against our demand for our Leader's freedom. playing three monkeys. This is because they played a role in capturing our Leader in the international conspiracy carried out in 1999. Their silence against the absolute isolation that has been going on for 25 months is also due to this. Our Leader should be allowed visits by his family and lawyers. These states and institutions must fulfil their responsibilities to end this torture mechanism. We will continue to remind these institutions of their responsibilities until our demand to free our Leaders is met."
