That's a very good question. However, there are people who can say more things than others. There are people whose life is more important than others. The president of US can start wars and still be free. There are others who try to stand up for what's factual justice and are forced to go to jail.

The one thing that really annoys me is that we are so many people and still, a few of them can do what ever they like. We clearly know that their actions are crimes and we were not able to do anything. In the case of Julian, it took 14 years to get him free. Why? 

 Good questions. It is very twisted. The dumb answer is that the whole system is run by a cabal of lizard people.

Closer to reality is probably complex power structures and really bad incentives driving the machine. Human traffickers are allowed to operate but don't pull back the curtain on the corrupt gov't.
