Soldier Threatens More Violence

15 Sep 08

I met the same soldier who had kicked Wadea on 7 Sep and pushed me at the same checkpoint today. He made me empty my whole bag out onto the ground. He asked if I remembered him. I said of course. He told me he has the right to hit or kick anyone who does not do as he tells them. He threatened me with violence if I came inside his checkpoint area to film without his permission. He said I would see worse than the other night if I did it again. Stay behind the red lines. He demanded to see a copy of the video of him. I refused and told him his commander had told me not to share the video as it is being investigated by military police.
