Opening Statement
May it please the court. My name is Lamisa Haque. My co-counselor is Jae Park. The following issue is before this court today: Mao Ze-dong has willfully oppressed and denied the people of China basic human rights. We will argue that Mao Ze-dong is innocent of this charge. Today you will hear from many devoted people who tried to change China by listening to Mao's commands to make a better China. Among them you will hear a Red Guard speak. You will hear Officers, and children of the Revolution. You will also hear Mao Ze-dong talk himself, to prove that his only intention was to make a better China. He will tell you that he did not intentionally take away the rights of the people of China. What he did do is create a new communist contry that was stronger than the China of before. He tried to bring equality to the people of China and help them become a new and Revolutionary china.
