What's wrong with ladies' protest?

I have no idea what's happening to this country. What is wrong
with ladies distributing flowers, staging a peaceful protest over
soaring prices of milk? Is it right to take them to police
headquarters and investigate them like criminals?

They did the thing that we, the mothers in this country,
wanted to do but were reluctant or afraid to do so. The prices of
milk products are rising. It's no joke. We cannot just tell our
children to stop drinking milk.

Those women only represented us, calling on the government to
listen to our concerns. Stop the stupid investigation and all the
harassment. There are other more important and serious problems
that call for immediate attention.
