In the name of God, the most compassionate the most merciful
I am reserve conscript Ahmad Muhammad
from the state security branch in Hama
I announce my defection from the Syrian Army and Assad gangs and I join the Abul-Fida Battalions of the Free Syrian Army
I take this decision because of the dozens of random killings happening before our eyes
they kill children, women and the elderly, and burn cars and loot shops
I challenge Colonel Suhail from Air-force intelligence to deny that he has (Shabiha) armed men from Iran and Hezbollah,
we saw them with our eyes, with a picture of Hassan Nasrallah on their left arms and beards this long
and they used to kill people randomly
(Interviewer): Did they not look like Syrians?
They didn't even let us speak to them..
(Interviewer): Why?
So we don't expose them by their weak Arabic.
(Interviewer): When did they come to Syria?
When the Army first entered Hama
(Interviewer): Ok
They were with us when the Army entered Hama and then they disappeared after a few days,
They started going out by themselves, not with us
(Interviewer): So initially they went out with you people
Yes, together and they used to go in front of us
Now we don't see them anymore. They operate with Air-force intelligence
With Colonel Suhail
(Interviewer): Yes
They go out to the villages to steal and loot, and they would kill anyone on the streets for fun
Killing, and stealing has become a form of entertainment
(Interviewer): OK, the people they kill, are they armed terrorists or gangsters?....
There are no weapons, we didn't see weapons or anything. If we did see weapons then maybe there could be another point of view.
but we didn't see weapons or anything suspicious for that matter
(Interviewer): at all?..
Not even a single bullet was fired at us
but they just kept on killing people
Bombarding houses, mosques. Even the house of God, they would throw in smoke grenades and kill the people inside
I mean this is the house of God they're slaughtering people inside
May God deal with them
And God willing our victory against them is close
(Interviewer): God willing...
And this is a threat to Bashar Al-Assad
the day we slaughter you is coming close
and God willing, if we stay alive and are not martyred we will slaughter you
(Interviewer): May God grant us martyrdom
Amen..
(Interviewer): We would buy martyrdom and they flee from death because they are cowards
All our souls are a sacrifice for the Syrian people
(Interviewer): Brother, tomorrow on Al-Dunia and Syrian TV channels they will say that someone kidnapped you and so on.....
I'm sane and fully conscious
(Interviewer): Did anyone force you....?
No, no. I left with my weapon and perfect mental health
(Interviewer): What weapons did you take with you?
I took 3 AK-47s
(Interviewer): They were all yours?
One was mine but I took 2 others. One of them was for a soldier who used to shoot at people
(Interviewer): Armed people?
No, he used to shoot at protesters. They would yell 'God is Great' and he shoots them.
What's wrong with saying 'God is Great'?.....
Why? Just because he (the protester) doesn't like Assad he shoots at him?
'In spite of you, Assad is the leader', that's what they say to protesters
and they would swear at his mom and sister
and the torture is horrible
Also there's an intelligence branch in Damascus where they are slaughtering prisoners
branch 285 in Kafr Souseh underground
when I was a soldier I went inside twice but not these days
recently I recieved news from my friends in Damascus about the unimaginable horrors occurring there
Anyone down there could be forced to admit to things they want on TV, and then they slaughter him
and many massacres occured
they would fire on mosques and people for fun
and sometimes they would beat up people randomly
many people were beaten up in front of us and humiliated very badly
I mean I'm a citizen just like him so why should I humiliate him
and I am not honored to be with them
God willing we will defeat them
either victory or martyrdom..God willing
(Interviewer): So, here in the Hama branch of State Security, did you see anything other than the Iranians and the like?
there was a leaked video that showed how we were laying out weapons on the ground, and I was in the video
and after we finished laying out the weapons a cameraman from Al-Dounia TV channel arrived and filmed it.
the video is available online
(Interviewer): And were these weapons found with terrorists or what?
We got the weapons from an office downstairs, next to the prison
We took it out and organised it on the ground until the Al-Dounia cameraman came, filmed a 2 minute segment and left
and then they say we caught these with the terrorists
(the cameraman) has no idea where they came from
I organised them with my hands
we saw them and in the leaked video it's obvious
and I'm visible in the video
Interviewer: Is there anything you want to say to your family?
I just wanted to say take car of yourselves and God willing we will return to you victorious
(Interviewer): Your ID please, just in-case it wasn't clear the first time
State Security, Branch: 320, in Hama
