  Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that this is legal in a so-called democracy.

    This is the part that got me:

    It prohibits Ms Berki from telling anyone what she says happened to her – not journalists, not friends, not family, and not even the police. The court also orderd Ms Berki to pay £50,000 in legal costs within two weeks (which she couldn’t afford) and authorised her bankruptcy.

      Fuck you government, I’ll say what I want. I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from talking to a journalist the next day
