“Indeed, these elections are different from the previous ones, where there was a large degree of repression, confinement and pursuit, and maybe up to 6,000 of us were imprisoned. But this doesn't mean they will prevent rigging this time. Rigging can still take place, perhaps not in the same overt way, but in a more subtle fashion.”
Muhammad Habib
“The main question is whether there will be mass repression after the election, whether the screws will be tightened even more.”
Yakov Basin
“Indeed, these elections are different from the previous ones, where there was a large degree of repression, confinement and pursuit, and maybe up to 6,000 of us were imprisoned, ... But this doesn't mean they will prevent rigging this time. Rigging can still take place, perhaps not in the same overt way, but in a more subtle fashion.”
Muhammad
“And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed”
John Steinbeck
“The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression.”
W. E. B. Du Bois
“Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.”
Calvin Coolidge
“The more there are riots, the more repressive action will take place, and the more we face the danger of a right-wing takeover and eventually a fascist society.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
