2. “… we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government. We chose to attack the law. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed… only then did we decide to answer violence with violence. ”

2. We were pushed into a very difficult situation. We had only two choices: to give up our rights and accept the unfair fairs, or to fight against the laws. First we fought the law in a peaceful way. When this was not allowed, we had no choice but to use violence because the government were violent to us.
