Holy shit, this is so inspiring, emotional, and flat out amazing. In 18 days these people were able to remove a 30 year dictator through mass protests and true people power. Democracy attained by the people, not by the barrel of a gun. Dictators the world over are shaking in their boots.
Watch the livestream, it's fantastic. An hour since the announcement and they're still celebrating like it just happened.

You of course are a lawyer and have studied the Swiss bank legislation which is the most complicated one in the world?
Not saying they can or can not freeze all of his money but it certainly appears they can do something since they decided to announce action. |

Where are the links saying they are doing stuff to his accounts and how much he is worth |

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |

Other dictators will learn from this about how to prevent such uprisings, i.e. limit internet use and control the army |

it is inspiring! in 1986 the philippine dictatorship was taken down through a 4 day "people power" lead by a house wife.
