Question at 5:35. The lady is missing the point of Human Rights, I keep hearing people using this same argument everywhere. Human Rights apply to everyone, you cannot treat somebody however you like because they have violated others' human rights, that is not how it works. The whole premise of human rights is to PREVENT the sort of rough justice that Latif is speaking against!
