I hope this continues. We are doing everything we can for all the culprits to be punished. I lost my children, my wife, and many of my relatives in that building. It shouldn't have been this simple, and they have shown us that it won't be. I hope they do not shake our trust in justice; our trust in justice still continues. God willing, we will continue until the end," he said.
