## Interview with Survivor Seeking Justice:
**Interviewer:** Thank you for speaking with us today. We’re deeply moved by your courage and resilience in the face of such a horrific ordeal.
**Survivor:** (Softly) Thank you. It’s difficult to talk about, but I believe it’s important that people know what happened.
**Interviewer:** Absolutely. Can you tell us a little bit about what happened that night?
**Survivor:** It was just a normal evening at home. Suddenly, there was this unimaginable explosion at the door. Everything went black, and when I came to, I was in excruciating pain.
**Interviewer:** The blast resulted in the amputation of your leg. How are you coping with that loss, both physically and emotionally?
**Survivor:** It’s a daily struggle. The physical pain is relentless, and the fear of losing my other leg adds to the burden. But what weighs heaviest on my mind are the unanswered questions. Why me? Who did this and why?
**Interviewer:** You mentioned in your letter that you feel “defeated, silent, and sad.” Can you elaborate on those feelings?

**Interviewer:** Despite all this, you express gratitude for surviving.
**Survivor:** Yes. I know things could have been much worse. My family could have been hurt, or we could have all been killed. I cling to that gratitude, but it doesn’t erase the pain and fear I feel.
**Interviewer:** What message do you have for the person or persons responsible for this attack?
**Survivor:** I want them to know that they didn’t just hurt me physically. They shattered my world, my life. They need to be held accountable for the pain and fear they have inflicted.
**Interviewer:** What are your hopes for the future?
**Survivor:**
I long to walk again, to regain some semblance of normalcy. But even more importantly, I hope for justice. I hope that whoever did this will be brought to justice so that they can’t hurt anyone else.
