This statement is insult against us. Beside me, my intellectual property has also been imprisoned. Our archive is situated in one of the computers which were confiscated by the law-enforcement employees. There is old information and a lot of photos collected within three years in the computer. I think all our computers should be returned back. But I present all of my computers to them as our nation is generous; however I ask them to return CPU of that computer”.
