Special Report Transcript Episode 58, Section 5, Time 26:14I come here on behalf of my family. I come here to express the feeling of betrayal by compatriots and Comrades.

I want that comrade of mine to come up and be honest and say, and tell a little lie at least to the family, a little white lie and say, we shot him accidentally when we were practicing, we will be satisfied. Why do you cheat me of my brother’s bones? Why do you think our contribution is worth nothing? Why do you think we ran and volunteered to risk our lives calling for your own return home, for justice, supporting you in your call to be treated under the Geneva Conventions and you couldn’t treat your own that way? Just say the truth, come back and tell us.
