With us is the hero Abdul-Basit Saroot, the young goal-keeper of the Revolution...
...after the failed attempt by the Assadite thugs to *** him yesterday.
(Interviewer): How are you Abdul-Basit?
(Abdul-Basit): Welcome, welcome
We heard that yesterday you were at a party in Khaldiyah neighborhood...
...and that on your way home you were wounded.
(Interviewer): What happened?
Thanks to God. Of course everyone is being targeted.
Yesterday there were three attempts to take my life.
Three times they fired at me and God saved my life.
To cross the road people have to be prepared to die.
While I got wounded, another four guys were martyred.
.. one young man was martyred in the middle of the road, so his mother went to drag him back. His mother got wounded and she felll on top of him
For us these things have become routine
We cried a lot..... our tears dried up.
But these things are not having any affect on the outside nations......
From whom do we ask for international intervention?...
Do we ask from those sitting in 7 star hotels eating and drinking and the people here have nothing to eat?
.....and they know that we do not protest for food or drink.
Till when are we going to stay like this?... and they are still giving them delays.
These delays are killing us. All our suffering is because of them.
I am directing these words to whomsoever is listening. Even you, the cameraman, listen to these words.
I am directing these words to everyone, to the people who have feelings and a conscience.
Don't treat us with politics, treat us with humanity.
Because everyday people are dying, yesterday 35 people were martyred.
These martyrs are going cheap, but they are precious in God's sight.
And God willing their final abode is paradise.
But this state should end. The Syrian people want an international intervention, a no fly zone, anything that protects the people from death and the Assadite pigs.
They're aiming their .50 cal machine guns on the roads and competing with each other to shoot people.
Bombs, RPG, Artillery, are all being fired at us, homes are burning, Everything's happening here. Till when are we going to stay like this?
Until all the people are finished?
O! brothers, Syrian National Council, Arab league, Arab leaders help us.
The Arab leaders are the most important, I am going to direct some important words to the Arab leaders.
What is left of the Syrian people demand international protection. A message to the gulf states that I always repeat....
To the Saudi King, Bahrain, UAE. Till now we haven't seen anything from the UAE towards the revolution, as if they are Arabs and we are Zionists.
Don't defend us, defend the mosques that are being shelled. Defend the Holy Quran that they tore, burnt with cigarettes and stomped on.
Five thugs, pigs, entered the mosque and began mocking the prayer, then they turned on music and sat in the imam's place.
If you have a conscience and feelings, I direct these words to you, whoever you may be.
I am a modest 20 year old youth directing this message to all of you hearing me. Arab leaders, Arab League, Syrian National Council, to everyone who represents this revolution.
And the SNC knows that we support it and give it its legitimacy, and we can bring it down whenever we want, but we will not bring it down because it is our voice of truth.....
...we want them to step up their efforts and find a solution to our situation in the nearest time.
We want an international intervention in the nearest time. All these delays and conferences every day, and in different places, aren't stopping the killing on the streets.
(Interviewer): Abdul Basit, we just heard that the security council is demanding Russia to support the intervention.
If the Syrian National Council is not able to protect us then let it raise the issue with the Security Council...
...because we are dying in the streets everyday. Whenever someone goes on the road they get sniped for fun, then we get together and demonstrate and they kill us again. For how long is it going to stay like this?
We want the revolution to move forward but you are pulling us back because of your lack of support.
(Interviewer): What do you think about the FSA?
The FSA is our protector after Almighty God, I hope they support the FSA, because it is defending us....
The FSA is carrying out great operations against the Assadite militias and security forces. They are protecting our children, women and everybody else.
...after Almighty God they are defending the people. I salute the FSA heroes and God willing we will all meet together after the victory, and if we don't triumph than may God accept us from among the martyrs.
I would like to send a strong message to everyone listening. Whoever has a chance to say one word of support and doesn't say it then he is responsible for the bloodshed.
I am directing this message mainly to the Arab leaders, O! Arab leaders who are facing the Kaaba in your prayers, whoever prays must say the truth.
If you pray and are quite about the killing then your are a silent Satan, whoever you are.
(Interviewer): A final word you would like to direct to the Syrian people.
I am humbled in front of the great Syrian people.....
... because the Syrian people are real heroes, they do not fear death. The Syrian people are facing death with bare chests, we want the people to know what hero means.
A hero is the one facing the tanks, bombs, RPGs and artillery only with his bare chest. These are the religious people that don't fear death.....
...these are the people I wish to die under their feet, these are the Syrian people...
Also, I want to direct a message to the great people of Aleppo. We know that Aleppo is the capital of Islamic cultural.....
.....and I know that in Aleppo there are heroes and Islamic scholars, and I know that God-willing, they will rise with us....
...with the people of Homs. We are bleeding and are being killed, Homs is a devastated city right now....
...we are living a state of war everyday, day and night, 24 hours, a one-sided war...
....If there was another side to the war we would've endured a little, but the war is only from one side. We are the ones going out with bare chests....
...and thanks-be-to-God. May God help us through to victory with our Kurdish brothers in Qamishli, our brothers in Aleppo......
...our brothers in Deir Azzor, Ar-Raqqah, At-Tabaka, Aleppo countryside and everyone taking part in this revolution...
... People of Deraa, Damascus the capital, we want to see them more active in this revolution, God willing...so as to inspire the rest of Syria.
(Interviewer): Thank you brother Abdul Basit, and I hope you recover soon.
Thanks to God, there's no difference between me and the people dying.
