The parliamentarian stressed her keenness not to enter or stay any of the depositors inside the bank so that they would not be detained.

However, this offer did not appeal to the parliamentarian, and she confirmed her continuation of the sit-in, provided that she would receive an amount of 8,500 US dollars.
