Why did you decide to tell the whole truth? Abbas, Saman's brother in the courtroom, responded: "Since this stuff happened, I've kept everything inside me, every day I suffer and I want to free myself. I can't sleep at night. In my room I have attached pictures of my sister and, when I look at them, I bang my head against the wall. I know that if I tell it like it is now, I'll free myself a little. I will carry this with me for the rest of my life, but if there is something that can help me, it is to let off steam, to talk, to say things as they went and how it happened. And for my sister's righteousness."
"I grew up in that culture, as a child my parents taught me that you couldn't make friends with girls, it was forbidden, and that's why I sent the photo of Saman's kiss to my relatives. At that time I had the same mentality as them, for me it was the wrong thing. But now everything has changed, since they have been in the community. I also feel like I'm Italian. The way I think now, they did a very wrong thing."
