Summary at a Glance

We didn’t have shoes and they would make us stand on the asphalt with bare feet for two or three hours in 37C [99F] heat.

In detention you would have to sleep on the floor which they covered with small, sharp rocks with your hands and legs tied and your eyes blindfolded.

They tied my arms to the chair very painfully and when they were beating me they would put their hands or legs on my chest to bend my back.

At the hospital [during the war] you would begin to lose your soul because of the horrors we saw every day.

They made me stand on my tiptoes for two or three hours and [would] then throw me to the floor and spray me with water.
