[...] However, it is difficult to oppose these measures to the right to demonstrate of the DDHC since many waves of destruction of private and public property had taken place. Resisting the law is a militant act and sometimes a savior. In fact, it is during the moments of oppression and even persecution by the laws that true national and religious heroes emerge.
