THE IMAGERY is funereal. The slogans attached to the sides of the vans outside the Ministry of Justice are framed in black, like pictures of someone recently deceased. They read, "Democracy is dead" and "The Ministry of Justice is dead." The dozens of funeral wreaths made of white and yellow plastic flowers that have been laid against the building's fence also carry messages.
