To say I am non-violent means nothing. What do I do to avoid this violence to continue? What does it mean to produce information against violence? To talk, to show documents, to try to involve young people in the refusal of this action unworthy of civilized people. [...] We see war and violence every day in the attitude of our governments. […] We must fight this attitude with a language that is effective and above all civil, always with very great imagination and allowing people not only to realise, but also to convince themselves of the fact that we don't have the right to call ourselves a civilized people if we don't fight for the rights of others.
