«يَامَا فِي الْحَبْسْ مَظَالِيمْ»

The saying is an exclamation that laments the large number of people held in confinement who are innocent of the charges against them. Its emphasis falls on the surprising quantity of such cases rather than on a precise count, so it expresses a general pattern of injustice and is not a question.

It is also applied when someone is accused of an act they did not commit or of words they never spoke. The speaker invokes the image of many innocent people jailed to protest a false accusation. It does not by itself establish who is guilty in any particular case, and its force depends heavily on tone and situation.

Use this saying when someone is blamed for a deed or statement that was not theirs, or when you want to point out that innocent people are being punished unfairly. Keep in mind that tone and the situation determine its force.
