1. At the beginning, I would like to appreciate your nationalistic and human attitude towards adopting issue of the wounded protesters who are abandoned by the government despite the President's directives to be medicated at the government’s expense. the question is: How do you interpret the government ignorance of  implementing the President's orders? And what is your opinion of  the government's attitude represented in the refusal to receive a judicial declaration, and not to retain a lawyer to present the case in the court?

 

Ø it seems that the government or, precisely,  some other powerful forces  that run the country affairs behind the scenes, control the political scene and influence the outcomes of decision-making, are responsible for this situation which  undoubtedly exists because of fear of continuing revolution which could restrain their authorities in the present or future.  The fear of  breaking out a new rebellion against their interests, which had stolen the revolution. Those powerful forces, particularly the military, tribal and religious forces, want to make the wounded a lesson and a warning to the revolutionists ; want to convey a message to people that: This is the fate of the revolutionists; want the people to get disappointed, frustrated and defeated that enabling them to reproduce fear and tyranny, to govern the nation without any expected problems or concerns of  revolution in the future ..
