"For 1.5 years, we were spied upon; the police tracked our every move. They’d bust into our room asking why we were late to come home on a particular day, or where we’d gone. If we had a visitor, the police were alerted & came to interrogate them."

"I came out of jail, ⁣but I don’t want to waste a second of my freedom. I want to work. I want to marry someone I love, raise a family & find that young man within me, who was once full of dreams. I want to say I’m alive & mean it.” ⁣Part 6- https://bit.ly/2Ao228R
