| - | When we want to protest, there aren't many options. | 0:10 |
| There isn't much that we can do. | 0:14 | |
| What do we do for instance, | 0:17 | |
| when they come to distribute the meals | 0:18 | |
| we take the meals, we eat | 0:20 | |
| and then we must return the plates. | 0:22 | |
| So we refuse to hand back the plates. | 0:24 | |
| We don't have many options to show that we're angry. | 0:27 | |
| And when we don't return the plates | 0:29 | |
| this presents them with a huge problem | 0:31 | |
| because they absolutely must get them back. | 0:33 | |
| And when 50 or a hundred of you are acting in this way | 0:37 | |
| this is a huge problem for them | 0:40 | |
| because they will have to organize those interventions | 0:42 | |
| with a hundred people or 50 people. | 0:45 | |
| They will call on every single soldier. | 0:48 | |
| Afterwards, they're very tired because for each cell | 0:50 | |
| they bring in about six, seven, eight soldiers | 0:53 | |
| in full gear with helmets, with sprays, or they call gas. | 0:57 | |
| They spray you. | 1:01 | |
| So for one person or two persons that is easy for them | 1:02 | |
| but when there are many of us, they cannot manage anymore. | 1:06 | |
| Then they negotiate. | 1:09 | |
| So I witnessed that. | 1:12 | |
| I took part in that protest. | 1:14 | |
| I didn't agree to go out | 1:15 | |
| to the shower or to return the plates. | 1:17 | |
| And so they intervened. | 1:19 | |
| They spray you, they use the spray. | 1:21 | |
| Then they open the door | 1:23 | |
| and they come in six or seven all at once. | 1:24 | |
| So you cannot move, it's over. | 1:26 | |
| They handcuff you. | 1:29 | |
| And then they drag you out | 1:30 | |
| supposedly to remove the gas off your face. | 1:32 | |
| They take a water hose. | 1:35 | |
| The hose is this large, and they place it right here. | 1:37 | |
| You cannot breathe anymore. | 1:41 | |
| They say that they do this to remove the gas of your face. | 1:43 | |
| Actually, that's not true. | 1:46 | |
| They do it to drown you. | 1:48 | |
| You understand? | 1:50 | |
| That's how it goes. | 1:51 |
