Some lie on the ground, with their hands behind their back. The women are standing in front of the wall, kneeling during the interrogation.
You can see how a person who is hesitant to answer a question is hit in the stomach and then in the kidneys.
“Once again, that silence, bitch, will be worse. There are two kidneys, but one life ”, the threats sound.
“Lick the stick,” says one of the boys lying on the ground.
While the interrogation is taking place, in the background an unknown man in civilian clothes and a ski mask can be seen hitting a man with a baton, shouting and obscenities are heard.
