Hamed Mohammed Shafia is escorted by police officers into the Frontenac County courthouse in Kingston, Ontario on Wednesday, January 18, 2012.
Mr. Shafia captured in secret police wiretaps speaking to Ms. Yahya or Hamed:
“Even if they hoist me up onto the gallows...nothing is more dear to me than my honour.”
“Let's leave our destiny to God and may God never make me, you or your mother honourless. I don't accept this dishonour.”
“This is my word to you: Be I dead or alive, nothing in the world is above than your honour.”
“I am telling you now and I was telling you before that whoever play with my honour, my words are the same...There is no value of life without honour.”
“If we remain alive one night or one year, we have no tension in our hearts, [thinking that] our daughter is in the arms of this or that boy, in the arms of this or that man. God curse their generation. Curse of God on both of them, on their kind. God's curse on them for generations...May the devil [defecate] on their graves. Is that what a daughter should be? Would [a daughter] be such a whore?”
