I really appreciate all the love and understanding after my message about why my husband shouldn't be persecuted anymore. What I find interesting is that if there wasn't a profit from posting our photos, we wouldn't be followed. I'm just tired of all this. And, just to be clear, I'm not trying to go against the media. No! Also because I would lose… (smiles, ed) I want to be really clear on this point, ok? But I just want my husband to be free to live his life to the fullest.
