¶ 01 Please allow me to express my views because I was accused of uttering falsehoods. My privileges have been violated; do not try to silence me. I must explain that obtaining a police clearance required a recommendation from the Public Security Committee or Civil Security Committee—whichever term is used. That was my point.
