At the inauguration ceremony of our country’s head of state, they all swear to protect the people of our nation.

When the personal freedom of our citizens is restricted overseas, it is understandable for them to bear the corresponding consequences if they have indeed violated local laws. However, as innocent minors, we are simply asking our own embassies and consulates to help us ask the local government one question: “What evidence and legal basis is there?” If they do not dare—or are unwilling—to even ask this question on our behalf, all we can feel is sorrow.

At the same time, we suggest that our country issue a travel warning to all citizens. If we could have known in advance that a certain country's government would take restrictive measures against minor foreign citizens, I believe no normal person would allow their children to enter such a country.
