Parce que les tribunaux sont engorgés, des centaines de personnes, pour la plupart démunies, sont incarcérées inutilement. Certaines en meurent, dans des prisons dignes d'une autre époque. Enquête.

I understand why an American hockey player would not like hearing his national anthem booed.
The American hockey player must also understand that I don’t like having his president threaten war against my country.
