My studious children, with your symbolic move, you defended not your imprisoned friend but also the being a “woman.”  You demonstrated with your action that you oppose discriminatory laws.  You oppose a law that regards a woman not as a human being, but as half a human being, equaling the testimony of two women in court with that of one man.

You the youth shouted that you respect your mothers and defend the human rights of your sisters.  You interpreted the concept of “feminist” once again for the interrogators.  Many of my daughters were sentenced to prison terms by the injustice system for the crime of being a “feminist.”
