It's painful.

My friends all are very creative and great people and smart and they can do a lot in their lives and their futures and their dreams.

And why?

Why literally simply cannot do that?

Where here you have whole possibilities to go and develop yourself, your career, your future, your dream, whatever you want to do.

You have the chance, the space to decide and do it.

Where back home, my people, my friends, smart, talented people are under the control.

They cannot decide about their careers.

They cannot decide about their hobbies, their love, their passion.

their creations, their minds, their hopes, their dreams.

They cannot decide about that.

And that's what we mean about freedom.

That's why we all the time say we need to end this occupation.
