“Dear friends,

A New Year is coming.

For me, it is the first holiday in the past ten years that I will spend with my family, with my parents and my children.

This past year, all of you together helped me to get my Liberty, and I want to thank you for your support, your letters, comments and even your criticism.

I wish the best of health and happiness to all your near and dear ones, and let us strive for the truth and love to prevail over hatred and lies.

Happy New Year!

I embrace you all,

Yours truly, MBK.”
