Translator | There were times when they had given us | 0:07 |
some books to read and there were other times | 0:09 | |
when we had nothing. | 0:11 | |
They take everything back, they take all the books back. | 0:12 | |
They keep them for three months, | 0:15 | |
and I don't know, it was just to create a mood. | 0:17 | |
They remove the books, then they return them to us. | 0:20 | |
Then they take them back, then they return them. | 0:23 | |
So that we have to think of that | 0:25 | |
instead of thinking about getting out. | 0:27 | |
In other words, every time they removed the books, | 0:30 | |
we're forced to make some noise, to rebel. | 0:33 | |
Only for the books, or for that kind of stuff, | 0:36 | |
which keeps us from thinking about leaving. | 0:38 | |
From asking them, why are we here already? | 0:40 | |
When each time, the soldiers start to create small problems. | 0:43 | |
For example, they would throw the Qur'an on the ground. | 0:47 | |
They would insult the detainees. | 0:50 | |
They would create problems | 0:52 | |
so that we were always distracted by those small matters | 0:53 | |
which kept us from thinking about being freed. | 0:58 |
