Following are excerpts from statements by the mother of a slain Egyptian officer, which aired on MBC Misr TV on July 9, 2013.
Mother: The death of my son will not go unpunished. Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood will pay for it. Don’t dare to think that you can just kill us. We will curse you in our prayers. You will never rise again. What happened to me will happen to you with your own children.
Oh Morsi and the General Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood: I hope you will lose your own children one by one. Oh Sisi, I entrust you with avenging my son’s blood. Don’t back down, Sisi. What you did was right. We have to take revenge upon them for the blood that has been spilled. We will never forget this spilled blood. Stand firm, Sisi, Give us revenge for our children. We will never back down. They are insolent. These are dogs. How do they expect to come back? This blood will never…
Woman standing next to her: Martyrs go to Allah. She must get her revenge.
Mother: Today, I married my son off (in Paradise). I am happy. I am happy. Morsi, you shall never beat us.
We want a free police. The army, the police, and the people stand together.
