6. Article 14 of the Martial Law interferes with the people's life and property, their right of habitat tion, of speech, of writings, of public gatherings, of organizing associations, of transmitting messages. and of moving their houies. f All these rights of the people are placed at the mercy of the officials in charge of the execution of martial law. Yet all these rights are inalienable rights of the people; they cannot be interfered with anybody. Therefore we demand that unless occasioned by foreign or civil war, and unless properly Parliament or the Provincial Assemblies, no martial law should be hereafter declared by any official at his own will.
