This is me being detained while leaving my apartment in downtown Saint Paul. I was detained for nearly 2 hours and had my apartment searched by federal agents as a result of a firework that had gone off in the area. I had no knowledge of the said firework and had committed absolutely no crime.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights forbids unfair imprisonment, yet this is violated every day in countries all over the world. Know your human rights. Produced for Youth for Human Rights International by the Church of Scientology International Human Rights Office.
