I'd like to talk to him," Edmond said. "I want him to explain to me what this thing was, how he could do this thing. My surviving sister said, 'Let's denounce him.' I saw what was happening-a wave of arrests all at once-and I said, 'What good is prison, if he doesn't feel what I feel? Let him live in fear.' When the time is right, I want to make him understand that I'm not asking for his arrest, but for him to live forever with what he has done.
In the book "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families," Edmond expresses a desire to confront a man who inflicted harm on his loved ones. Rather than seeking vengeance through imprisonment, he believes that making the perpetrator understand his pain is more impactful. Edmond's sister suggests denunciation, but he dismisses this idea, recognizing that immediate punishment may not provide the emotional resolution he seeks.
Edmond emphasizes that true justice involves the perpetrator living with the consequences of his actions. He feels that instilling fear in the perpetrator might be more effective than putting him in prison, as it allows for a deeper understanding of the suffering caused. This reflects a complex approach to justice, where personal accountability and emotional awareness take precedence over traditional punitive measures.
