I am Zakaria Jarjnazi. I am Hossam al- Din Abdel Salam Hamad.

My name is Khaled Ahmad, son of Mohammad, nicknamed Hazari. Hama, 3/ 6/ 2011.

There is no god but God. I fired randomly, just like Colonel Mohammad

Darwish ordered us in Hama, and it hit my lung, I was wounded

in one of the demonstrations.

Two photos of me were spread on Facebook,

one of them is at Branch 248 Military Security.

We take IDs, and for those who are wanted,

we take them down and hand them over to Security.

Today they showed him

to us while he

was wearing

the uniform.

On the events of 3/ 6/ 2011, we were armed with pistols,

and we were sent down to the square,

and there a huge million- strong demonstration took place.

And Colonel Mohammad Darwish, the head of the patrols,

ordered random gunfire at the demonstrators to disperse the demonstration.

When we set up a checkpoint, we searched all

the houses and we did not see anyone at the checkpoint who would refuse.

And the woman who would go too far, we liked we would take her,

and the one who would not come to us,

who would not let us take her, I mean by force we would get rid of her husband,

we would get rid of her husband and take her.

I worked at the beginning of the crisis,

A guy came to me, his name was Abu Ali Qazaq, backed by Air Force Intelligence.

I formed a group that almost reached hundreds, around five hundred.

We started going out to the demonstrations, they put us at checkpoints,

we took IDs, and we pulled out the wanted ones and

handed them over

to Security.

He came after me at the start of 2018, we knew he was an informant and a thug.

So one day we kicked him out,

and he threatened that he would frame me and my son.

The next day Criminal Security shows up and takes us.

They pretty much took all the shop’s merchandise,

he used to brag about it, he would say,“ I am the Masked One.”

Meaning he would say, “ I used to go out and beat demonstrators in 2013.”

And he has about seventy people killed under his hand in the demonstrations.

I went to Air Force Intelligence, spent a month getting my nerves shredded,

and I did not get out except after paying 20 million.

Whether he gets some of that money or not,

I do not know about that, but that is how he said,“ I will destroy you.” “ I will

destroy you.”

You were expecting this session you are sitting in now,

to face the demonstrators that you used to fire bullets at,

and to face the families of martyrs.

The blood of the martyrs, we are not leaving it on the ground,

you are all going to be held accountable, one by one. For this crime of yours.

I can never forget the children of freedom, not for a moment,

A minute, a minute, a minute, I cannot forget.

If there was a butcher of Tadamon called Amjad Yusuf, then in Old Aleppo,

in the Hamidiyah

area there is a butcher called Khaled Hazzari.

I have a building in Tallal, five floors,

and I have two houses in Hazzazah. And I have five generators,

and I have three shops too.

I worked with Captain Yaqub completely, meaning writing reports,

blackmail and so on. For example, someone has some issue, for example,

we take care of it for him, or his relatives are inside. We take money from him,

a very large amount,

he would give me per person according to his means,

according to what he could pay, meaning, if he paid, for example,

two or three million, I would take 200, 300 thousand. Say someone wanted

is arrested, we take him to Abu Ali, Abu Ali Qazq at the Riaaya

headquarters. There, there is a prison, they put him in the prison,

in his own private prison. And then where they send him, to which side,

we do not know. And of course,

after I was cut off from my house, he came…

State Security came and arrested me. Right here, sir,

I was standing guard in the house,

and I had a shed with ventilation for the basement.

Security came and pulled me out of it.

And in the place where I am standing now,

this security guy used to torture people there and hurt people and inform on them.

Now it has become the property of the state,

it has become the property of the people,

and rights are being claimed from here.

So praise be to God for His giving and His satisfaction.

Today they showed him to us wearing the uniform.

I am happy deep inside that I am getting my brother’s rights,

that I am getting the rights of the martyr’s mother.

God empowered us and let us see these criminals who used to fire at us during the

demonstrations.

Everyone who went too far in spilling the blood of the Syrian people,

today is the day he stands before the court and is tried before justice.

So special thanks to the

security leadership who made efforts to bring in such criminals.

I, for me, my older brother is in the position of my father, and his martyrdom

is an honor for us. But we want the truth, retribution,

and justice from this criminal who is sitting in the

hands of

security.
