NLD Statement 135/2000

Description: 

[Extortion of farmers by local authorities]..."...From these events it is transparently clear that no matter what the military anashins proclaim about the modernization of the agricultural system, they are bent upon maintain power. Consequently we are in fact heading towards feudalism where old and faithful servants win favor and are granted the right to enjoy the fruit of the territory they control.. We urge these orders and instructions for persecuting and relegating the farmers to serfdom be abolished. Indifference to the illegal activities of the lackeys and underlings for the perpetuation of power must be stopped. We vigorously denounce these unjust actions..."
