We face the regime against this barbarity, we are reproached, I am convinced that it was an act of provocation, I understand the desperation that may have the father of this young man, I understand but I do not agree with that procedure because it is unfair, the Claim is against the state, not to us, to the regime, is a very serious, unfortunate confusion.
