...brought this on herself.”Her case, as you can imagine, isn’t unique. Since coming here one month ago, I have heard too many stories like hers. For example, in 1994, a Congolese man died after being jailed for complaining about inadequate food rations. Through coercion, intimidation, inaccessibility, and inaction, the people of Meheba are cheated out of their right to complain.
