And then I'm told to stand up and come over to, it was sort of like a colonel in the group.

We sort of called him.

He was cranky.

He didn't speak English.

And he basically just used to snap his fingers at me and he's like,

Stand up, sit down.

Didn't say those words, but I sat down and then he opened up a box with padlocks and he put chains around my ankles.

So I couldn't open my feet much further than that.

I woke up in the morning to hear, like, I woke up from Amanda screaming.

And it was just like, right, so now it begins.

Like, now is the terror.

that we're about to experience and was very aware that once they had finished with her, they were going to be walking through my door and tried to ready myself for that.

One thing that I did do was I managed to get my pencil and create a small hole in my mattress and I slipped the pencil into the mattress.

um because having even the most simple object was such a powerful tool later on in my my experience um uh but sure enough you know I'm not sure how long they were with Amanda and hearing her scream and um Abdullah walked in and he didn't say anything he just put his finger on his lip and

stand up um which i did there was another three guys that walked in with ak-47s they took a cloth and i was then completely blindfolded around my head and then my arms were pulled down to my sides as someone then started to go through every single seam on my clothes

around my arms, the bottom and that was then taken off.

Same with my singlet, that was then taken off.

They went through my pockets and my jeans, all the seams.

They were then pulled down to my ankles, obviously to where the chains were.

Same thing with my underpants and then they were pulled down.
