Why didn't they state clearly what he said/typed so that the world can judge?. When the higher power is against you,your voice might never be heard.

in as much that there is freedom of speech, it would be unwise to still go ahead and spew trash about people in power, it don't matter if we are in democracy, especially here in Africa where rights of persons ain't valued by the government.. so it would be okay to apply a little sense to the hate speech.
