At Okrestina street detention centre a man stood at the entrance, he said: "Bit..., let& #39;s go faster!" I asked: "Why are you talking to us like that?" He took me by the neck and kicked me into the wall, saying: "Bit..., eyes on the floor, you will know where to walk."
We asked the policemen if we could make a call, to call a lawyer, to which he said: "what, have you binged on American movies? This is not America for you, you are not entitled to anything."
we hadn’t eaten for more than a day, everyone was hungry, we started asking for food. We were ready to pay. They said: "No, bit..., you will know who to vote for."
I tried to read the protocol they wanted me to sign: "Let me, please, familiarise myself with what I am signing." The answer was: "bit.., get signing quickly or I& #39;ll rape you and put you in jail for another 20 days"
& #39;I was in shock, my tears were flowing, their traces remained on that protocol. I signed. The they took us back to the cell, where there were already 20 girls - there were 33 of us in total. It was a complete mockery.& #39;
& #39;We saw through the window how the guys were being treated. They were almost half-naked, on their knees with their bums up, hands behind their heads. If someone moved, they beat them with sticks.& #39;
& #39;If there was a way to somehow punish those people, I would gladly do it. Life now is divided into before and after. Now I just want to leave this country, take all my family and friends, just not to stay.& #39;
& #39;My hands were tied. They took out a combat grenade and said that they would now take out the pin, put it in my pants, I would blow myself up, and then they would say that I was blown up by an IED. That no one will prove anything and nothing will happen to them.& #39;
& #39;They put the grenade in my pants and ran away. Then they came back and said that I was insolent, they started beating me again, in the groin, in the face. They ordered me to carry my backpack with my teeth, they continued to hit me in the face, i ended up with chipped teeth.& #39;
& #39;there were 20 people in the police van, we were thrown on top of each other. Above us was a riot policeman who walked on the people. They put their feet on our necks and we began to choke. People& #39;s hands were swollen due to the ties - whoever complained was beaten on the hands& #39;
