Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk arrives back home after spending six weeks at a Louisiana detention center

“America is the greatest democracy in the world, and I believe in those values that we share. I have faith in the American system of justice,” Öztürk said Saturday at a news conference at the airport.

That's wild considering she was abducted in broad daylight and spent 6 weeks unjustly detained.

EDIT: She also had great luck that the video of her arrest went viral. I don't think she would be free without it and the group of supporters that formed afterwards. It's easy then to have faith in the american justice system, but it's naive to think that other low profile cases will be treated equally.
