1. I demand and expect, if there is any conscience, any law, any morality, that the soldier who fired the shots will be held accountable for his actions. This case must not be closed without an investigation and without accountability. At the very least, I do not intend to give up.
2. There was no clear checkpoint, just soldiers standing in the street. I stopped when I was asked to, and then the shooting started.
3. The soldier was about 10 metres away from me. He saw me, he saw my wife and the children.
4. The soldier signalled me to stop. I brought the car to a complete halt and raised my hands on the steering wheel. Immediately afterwards, they opened fire on the vehicle.

1. There was no danger or justification for firing.
2. We are being harmed just because we decided to stay at our homes.
