 "For me real freedom is freedom from fear and unless you can live free from fear you cannot live a dignified human life. It's not possible if you're always having to think what will somebody do to me if I say this, what will somebody do to my family if I do that, that's not the sort of life I want to live and that was not the sort of life I want my people to live. So yes it's the idea of real freedom which comes from inside and once you're free inside and once you feel that I can accept whatever happens to me so long as I'm working for something that is right, then I think you are free."
