"We have been ignored completely up until now, not only by western governments but also western media. We are fighting for the same goal and values that you have in Europe and fought for hundreds of years ago – democracy, liberty, justice, equality.

"I like Formula One. A lot of us do. This is not a protest against Formula One. It is a protest against the government using this weekend's race as a tool of propaganda, to legitimise what is going on in this country.

"They pretend we are a happy and united people. But there is no peace here. We are attacked by the police and beaten on a regular basis by the police"
