I do not know what my status is right now to tell you the truth: Has my house become a new place of detention, a kind of prison? I have absolutely no idea, ”he assures us.

So far, only some of the opponent’s lawyers have been allowed to meet with him. The interview took place on Monday: “What am I to blame for, I just learned from the mouth of one of the lawyers: They say, but no more, that I am or would be the bearer of a rebellion project to overthrow the institutions.”
