Honorable compatriots,

We have showed our objections and wants by conducting rallies, theaters, meeting with individuals and organizations defending human rights, participating in seminars, interviews in media and etc.

SAAJS understands this to unit with all those individuals and organizations working for securing of justice, to remove all criminals from power and prosecute them.
