“On Tuesday, March 23:
“Four men dressed like officers out of uniform, with their hair cut short and wearing round-neck T-shirts,
“Drove up on a pickup truck with the licence plate concealed, blurred white, the licence number cannot be seen,
“Came to my residential condo,
“Two of them got out of the pickup truck and asked for me,
“They took the elevator up to the front of the unit and knocked on the door,
“When they realised I was not home they took a photo of the front of the condo and then went down,
“I was later told that,
“They tracked down many people who ‘got involved with the youngsters’ rallies’,
“I consulted some lawyers,
“And was clarified that,
“This action is a form of harassment – stalking,
“Could be an offence,
“ For committing crimes against liberty,
