Claim based on an 18 second audio but no trace of recipient and holds reasonable ground to be released by her opponents who even imposed ban on her party a glaring testament to stage a rigged trial over July August violence. Use of statements from law enforcement who already stood accused of suppressing regime dissenters. Reliance on comments from prosecutors handpicked by the regime despite proven track record of serving her opponents in court in the past. On top of that, a suspicious claim by third party organisation that even refrained from using the term “impossible” to rule out the fact that the audio can be manipulated.  So the entire video manifested a clear breach of guardrails associated with objective journalism, serving the purpose of the regime that already stood accused of staging a farce with the nation in the name of judicial process, denying justice to victims of July August violence.
