causing me to brake, swerve and turn toward the south eastern direction towards<\/p>\n

quit politics altogether if only they could spare my life and asked that they hold on to<\/p>\n

the money they had grabbed from me altogether and set me free.<\/p>\n

15. That the said individuals then asked me to reduce my apology in writing if I really<\/p>\n

meant what I said and later handed me a piece of paper the individuals had taken<\/p>\n

from my car to write on and dictated the note to me while promising to set me free.<\/p>\n

off my genitals.<\/p>\n

28. That after a brief absence, the individual who had been dispatched returned and<\/p>\n

reported that no knife was found. The 3rd Respondent then issued an order for me to<\/p>\n

be subjected to further beatings, as I was unwilling to reveal my collaborators.<\/p>\n

29. That the 3rd Respondent issued another order for my tongue to be forcibly pulled with<\/p>\n

a pair of pliers, which would compel me to reveal the desired information.<\/p>\n

unceremoniously thrown back into a room that resembled a cell,<\/p>\n
