June 25, 2024. There were abductions. The masses protested. The Finance Bill, 2024, sailed through the next stage. Parliament fell.

There were bodies, too, as police officers indiscriminately unleashed terror on anti-tax protesters. More than 100 are feared to have suffered gunshot wounds, with scores of others feared dead.
