The Truth Is Our Most Powerful Weapon - Political Prisoners of Today and Yesterday

This book, instigated by the unjust sentencing and incarceration of Janez Jansa, president of the by far largest opposition party, the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) and former Prime Minister of Slovenia, is a compilation of lives of thirteen political prisoners, Janez Jansa, Aung San Suu Kyi, Benazir Bhutto, Carlos Menem, Benigno Aquino Jr., Mahathma Gandhi, Bertrand Russell, Nelson Mandela, Andrei Sakharov, Antonio Gramsci, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Martin Luther King Jr. and Iulia Timoshenko. All the text were compiled from open sources, especially Wikipedia. Governments often say they have no political prisoners, only prisoners held under the normal criminal law. This compilation includes cases where the term "political" refers to a "political trial" and "political imprisonment" of persons who are accused and sentenced for crimes in blatantly unfair trials that have no resemblance to what we have come to accept in democratic societies that proclaim the rule of law as one of their greatest values.
