A Retired Member of the Military Recounts the Torture She Suffered over the Past Four Years
2003-11-05We felt so hungry and cold after being tortured and being forced to stand in the rain for over 10 hours. Our clothes were soaking wet and we were trembling because of the cold. (6 among us were over 60 years old.) All others could go back to their cells, but we 4 were locked in a cage less than 10 square metres in diametre for 2 months. We ate, drank and urinated in that cage. The vicious policemen were in the adjoining rooms. The cage was in their path for them to see when walking back and forth.
