They didn’t touch her - but she was terrified.
After checking her ID:
“She’s pretty on her ID too.”
“Oh, she’s not bad.”
“It would be better if you were with me instead of going to protests.”
One added:
“Instead of sucking Dzima’s cck, you’re going to lick girls’ cnts in Homel.”
When she was finally taken to the shower, she noticed someone watching her through a peephole.
“You can go have some fun [with her] at her house.”
She is convinced they were suggesting rape.
Officers mocked them:
“Do you think we’re going to rape you?”
These “jokes” were constant, leaving the women unsure whether threats were real or not.
“Some faggot. I’d pass you around.”
“I’ll make you a bitch, you faggot.”
He was kicked in the neck, humiliated, and threatened with rape.
