The law can go into great lenghts of either assuring a person their rights or denying them. Language is a tool that can be used to best describe what is natural or what is accustomed in different point of views. Cultures for instance are to be abided by but is opinionated that most of those accustoms are wrong as they violate the natural rights of humans. Robert Amsterdam gives great examples of those rights being mistreated with a few articles including several activists and their arrests.
When upon reading more of one of the activists, i found this one to be the most interesting becuase of the amount of datainment and cencorship china has acted upon and is accounted for of multiple violations of human rights: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Xiaobo
His movement had inspired many, but China's government has shown complete dictatorship over its country with surveilance and confinement.
i agree that the government does twist its words to help of hurt the people they are above. it would be easier to comment if u were more subjective in your argument so i can write more. lol but i do agree with you that language is a very strong weapon
