He said during the interview that the bliss sided with the revolution since its first day, and refused to participate in the killing of peaceful demonstrators, and that he had information about those involved in the killing of protesters during the revolution.
Earlier, the field committee of the forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change, which led the revolutionary movement, called for the autopsy of the bliss, and the announcement of the results.
The dead policeman was quoted by local media as confirming that he had evidence regarding the disengagement of the GHQ.
