Relatives described emotional distress and urged authorities to consider clemency. The appeals followed reports of multiple arrests connected to the investigation.

Analysts said the situation has sparked national debate about justice accountability and reconciliation. Observers noted that how the cases are handled could influence public trust in institutions during a sensitive period.
