14 DAY TRIAL // Relatives of Boston bombing suspects Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev are fighting the backlash of accusations brought against the brothers.
Their aunt, Maret Tsarnaeva, living in Toronto, Canada tells Sun News that she is being threatened and asked to leave the country on a constant basis.
“They are calling us, calling names, threatening, saying it’s time to go home. [...] Yes, it is time. We did not find that promise -- democracy -- in this country. But if I go home, I will go home only with bodies of my nephews,” she says.
She is convinced that the pair have nothing to do with the Boston attacks, suggesting that the US government is blaming them because they need a convenient, foreign scapegoat.
“They made our boys enemies of the American nation. [...] They made them victims of the conspiracy. ... They needed somebody to blame for something they committed themselves so they got them. So rejoice people, rejoice,” Tsarnaeva says.
A few days ago, the Chechen president has also mentioned that Tamerlan was killed while officials rushed to pinpoint a culprit, any culprit in the deadly bombings.
