He was alleged to be involved in terrorism so that the people wouldn’t get to know what he was doing for humanity and what he wanted. He wanted Palestine to be free for the people of Palestine. I wanted to say to the entire humanity and Islamic people, that this will bring something extraordinary for which he has sacrificed his life.”
