When Justice Is for Sale
In any democratic society, three pillars are expected to uphold justice and accountability: an independent judiciary, honest political leadership, and a free press. When these pillars function properly, they create a system of checks and balances that protects citizens from abuse of power. But when the courts become bribed, rulers turn corrupt, and pressure mounts against journalists, democracy itself begins to weaken. The relationship between these institutions can determine whether a nation moves toward justice or slides into authoritarianism.
