Meta-Comment No. 21

Justitia. The blindfolded ruler of justice. Without eyes, but an acute sense of hearing and a soothing voice, she manages it all. And finds pathways to justice. She is there for the protection of people who are in situations where they need it. From people in the middle of unlawfull events that may fall upon us all, to the weak and defenceless people who can't speak for themselves. To the people who don't even have the luxury of being granted the basic human right of having their say in a court of law. Be it in totalitarian regimes or even in democracies that enforce anti-terror laws that don't leave this option of stating their side of the case in defence for themselves. It goes without saying that security issues weigh heavily, but it does also pave the way for potential miscarriage of justice. Leaving the possibility of framing an option for other people. Everything is possible without eyes. Blindfoldedly. But it takes an acute sense of hearing.
