2) The abuse of power. Where do I start on this one? Execution for speaking one's mind, even though the offense did not merit execution under their own laws. The judge's personal involvement/grudge which affected the case. The lack of an advocate for the girl. The failure of the appeal process, which allowed these abuses to continue.
That's what I'm saying, those would not happen in our society. Our rights are a cultural thing, in my opinion.
