Sabr pointed out that his uncle "was subjected to brutal torture and deliberate medical neglect, as the militia refused to provide him with first aid or treatment despite the deterioration of his health condition.

He explained that his wife died while he was in prison and the militia refused to let him go out to visit her before she died.
