It was also stated that MDP will act as a shield against brutality.
“Though a group of people are denying and trying very hard to cover up the inhumane treatment of protesters or February 7 and 8, those who had seen and felt and experienced the brutality will go on to spread the truth, share their experiences and voice their emotions,” the statement read.
