I really don’t understand why regimes do this. Like everyone with two brain cells to rub together know the person recanting is not being truthful. But then again almost two thirds of my country at least tacitly supported an open fucking idiot with “concepts of a plan”.
It’s to show that they have the “power” to make people do whatever they want. Sure, the average Janes and Joes know that apology was half-assed, but they now know that the government will come after you if you do anything out of line.
