Dear Dad,

It has been a long time since we last talked; it has been forever since I last saw you. The past five years

felt like a decade because time seems to go so slow. Every day we are waiting for you to return. Mom,

brother, sister, and I are missing you very much.

I remember your pictures. You love to travel the country and took many pictures of the scenery. In my

memories I only see buildings, traffic, pollution, and busy days at school. In your pictures, I see wild

mountains, sandy beaches, fruit trees, and beautiful rivers. We know you love photography, and I know

it is because you love to capture the beauty of everything. You gave us so many memories to keep and

to reminisce. I don’t think many of my friends my age have many photos of them as kids to look at. But

you captured all of that for your children. In your pictures we see the love that you have for your

country and its people.

You have always been an honest, gentle, kind hearted man, and you trust everybody to the point that

life has become much more difficult for you. I have seen many people, including friends and neighbors,

who took advantage of you. But along the way you have gained so many more friends with your

kindness and your never-failing honesty.

What you have endured all this time really broke our hearts. This is the price you have to pay for your

love? This is Unfair! This is Injustice!

I was naive to think that maybe things will be ok two years after they took you. I thought we would have

you back in our arms again. I was looking forward to the day I get to see a picture of you again. I bought

you a pair of new shoes so you could wear them to travel, because I know you have worn out your last.

But you did not return. They kept you for so much longer. That was when I realized things are worse

than I thought. Justice will never have its day in this country.

And time stretches its legs, one heavy step at a time. You don’t know how many beats our hearts have

skipped when we heard news about you or the trial, many worrisome days when we didn’t know where

and how you were. I had many dreams about you, and many nightmares. I am angry at the many

hardships mother, brother, and sister have to go through, yet I know it is nothing compared to what you

have endured, and that makes me even angrier. It doesn’t feel good to live in anger, but I can’t help it

when there is no justice where you are.

We were all holding our breath before the trial. There were many people who wanted to come to the

trial to support you. You may have heard what happened to them, the violence and nonsense action

that they took upon everyone. Nothing compares to what they did to you. After all of the beating,

arresting, terrorizing, heartache and tears, after all of the unspeakable things, the result of the “show”

was as expected. The clowns of terror always get their way, one of them even said “F*** freedom.”

Not long ago I saw your image for the first time after many years. You look much older and weaker. I

saw how they put their hands on you when you tried to speak. I heard they didn’t give you your glasses

to read or write, they didn’t give you food until it was rotten. It’s hard to live thinking about my father
