They say my son had committed suicide in a station where 11 soldiers and 3 commanders stay. It is not suicide, it is murder. I have spoken to the 3 commanders. They contradicted each other. One of them says there are surveillance cameras, one of them says there aren't. Provincial gendarmerie commander told me his commander was shivering with fear when he was interrogated. What have you done to this child? A commander told me there is nonliability in this situation. I want my scream to be heard. Do not let this be covered up. They are making this look like a suicide."
