"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. All I was saying is that, the rule of law and respect for human rights demand that we hold everybody to be innocent until taken to court and proved guilty. It is with that spirit that we, for many, many years in this country, fought to prevent anybody being shot at. I remember that when we were agitating for multi-party democracy in this country, occasionally, some people would be shot right in the streets because the police would use live bullets. I remember that we used to make a lot of noise and ask the police not to use live bullets and instead, they can scare us with water or rubber bullets. It was not necessary to use live bullets. It happened then and we made noise. We should be extremely careful. We should continue respecting the rule of law and human rights and give everybody a chance to be proved guilty and to live and defend themselves. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
