"They threatened, they threatened in the same way. They said it was no problem for them to take both of our lives, but why would they do it. So this kind of threatening, not threatening. They just put themselves in the light, as if they were the good ones, that they could do it, but they won't. It was quite comical like that."

“They loaded me before six in the morning, when I got on the bus here, Volha was already waiting in front of the barracks near Kaplický for them to take me to work. That didn't happen, they took me straight to Pastýřská. There they started writing the protocol that they wanted me to he signed for them that I would not take part in the demonstrations. When I didn't want to sign for them, they put me in custody here in Liberec. It was terrible there, because the prison service was really walking in the corridors with those muggles who were shouting. And some communist the janitor was yelling at me, making eyes at me, his vein stood out that he was looking forward to handing me over. After which he didn't hand me over, because I was there for a while, a couple of hours. After those hours, I don't know now if three or four hours, they took me to Děčín. I wasn't with anyone in any of the cars, I was alone everywhere. I don't know if it was completely according to the regulations, but I was alone everywhere. Even in Liberec and in Děčín. Well then I foolishly decided that I would go on a hunger strike, which I probably got over after a day or so. I was wondering why I would bother here. But in the meantime, they called a psychiatrist to say that I was crazy, that I didn't want to eat. But I ate it in the meantime and the psychiatrist came for no reason. And he also scolded them for making fun of him, that I normally ate and all.”
