(Radio France) This week, the Paris attacks trial will hear the testimonies of 70 victims and their families. If the tragic facts remain the same, the individual experiences of the night of 13 November 2015, and of life since, are unique.
One young man, who almost lost his leg and his life at the Bataclan, spoke of the powerful solidarity of the injured who shared his long road to recovery at the Central Military Hospital in Paris. He was a patient there for 18 months.
“What remains for me is the support of the people I lived with … the medical staff, other victims, the [grievously] injured … we survived, we laughed, we helped one another to mend.
“Personally, I have nothing against these people. I don’t want to see them punished, one way or another. I don’t want them to suffer the way Islamic State made their prisoners suffer.”
