Therefore,<br \/>this arrest was more like banditry and hostage-taking than the<br \/>execution of a judicial sentence.<\/p>\n<p>Even though my arrest was illegal, the respected lawyers succeeded in<br \/>violating the ruling issued in 1990 by resuming the proceedings in the<br \/>Supreme Court, which is the highest authority for judicial cases, on<br \/>the 15 October 2022 of this year, so that they can go to the same<br \/>branch for retrial.
