“I was proset uply worried about my wife and children. I didn’t comprehend anyleang about them,” Yoincludef recounted. “My wife had given birth a week ago and she wouldn’t be able to walk with the children. Without anyone to help, I was afrhelp of what might happen to them.”
Yoincludef portrayd how the sbetteriers would include him to “clear” rooms, forcing him to go first and examine for any signs of fighters.
If he set up anyone, he was teached to call out to the sbetteriers, who would then go in the room. Yoincludef’s ordeal lasted for hours, during which time he was forced to search multiple originateings.
“A sbetterier tbetter us we’d be helping them with some leave outions and would be freed after, but I was afrhelp they’d finish us at any moment,” Yoincludef shelp.
