It's like, that's horrible.

I mean, as a collective, definitely.

Personally, last time there were some instances of extreme violence.

I got my shoulder dislocated and I was pretty severely sexually assaulted and had some really full-on experiences last time, but it was more random last time.

And this time it was very much a collective thing.

It was like no one would escape unscathed.

It was definitely an escalation on their part.

It was pretty widespread.

We're talking about rape and severe sexual assault.

On one level, almost everyone was sexually assaulted because if you're strip searched and humiliated sexually or something, that happened to everyone.

But the really severe cases are quite widespread and the amount that are being spoken about openly at the moment is like a lot.

But then also some people, it takes time to decide whether or not they want to go through this public process of like talking about this horrific thing that's happened to themselves.

I'm sure that it's quite a lot more than what we're seeing at the moment as well.

No, no.

So, yeah, the prison.

Kids get prisons like in the desert.

So we're held in these stress positions, getting beaten and…

and tortured and assaulted.

And then we're kind of like dragged to this processing center at the port and then go through these like, it's like you go to a desk and they're like asking you about all your stuff, go through these interrogations, strip search multiple times in different places.

being filmed um getting like punched in the like in the neck and in the in the face multiple it's this weird thing of like it's like this kafka-esque kind of hellscape thing of of answering questions like you're going through immigration in this kind of like formalized way and then being taken and kind of brutalized by like the military and then back to like another desk where it's in at least it's like formalized thing that must be so mentally
