Testimony recorded by Border Violence Monitoring Network/Detention Landscapes: "[if] you don’t want to sign it because you don’t understand it they immediately change their faces and the way they look at you then they start to be violent. hey [police officers] have ways to punish you, you know. They could lock you in your room and not allow you to use the toilet."
