We have a problem, a party member incited racist sentiments in a speech causing uproar within the country. Despite countless warnings from the ministry to not publish such incidences, three newspaper companies decided to do otherwise. On top of that, the emergence of alternative media and blogs on the internet accelerated the widespread of the news so rapidly that we did not manage to suppress it.
What can be done now is to issue show-cause letters and order detention without trial to coerce them into conformity with our demands. We’ve already expected that our decision to carry out such an authoritarian act will be maimed by vehement protest from the people of the country. To justify our act, we shall then cite ‘The Patriot Act’ of the United State of America as an aegis to the denial of habeas corpus.
The answer to the question on why we bypass the ordinary court of law is that the court of law requires conclusive evidence and witnesses. There are instances where a witnesses dare not testify against the accused while the government is not able to produce concrete evidence as the documents involved are highly classified.

My train of thought was disturbed when a messenger came in. It was bad news, a radical extremist hired a hit on the journalist, to wash blood with blood. It is evident that the people in the country would hold us responsible over her death, as we are known as the ones who are ever obsequious towards the majority class. I aware that the tension created by such a case is not subversive per se, but this is not a risk the government can take.
It was tough decision. I took a deep breath and said: “Take her in, Now.“
