I've been following these Soviet style institutions for about a year. Without getting into details, they are so sad, they do not represent western values. I think I'd try my luck going to court in Saudi Arabia or China, over going to one of these.

Slowly but surely, some politicians are getting involved, trying to get rid of them, or at least, get rid of the part where it is an offense to do something that is "likely to expose someone to hatred."
