I’m shooting this video from the bathroom because it’s the only room I can lock with a door. I can’t lock my room door because he doesn’t have a key.
I am in a villa, I am being held hostage and this palace has turned into a prison. All windows have bars and I cannot open any. There are five police officers outside and two policewomen inside the house. I can’t even go out to take some air.
I don’t know when I will be released and what will happen to me when I am released. Every day I worry for my safety and my life. I don’t know if I will be able to survive this situation. The policemen threatened me, saying that I would be imprisoned for life and never see the sun again.
Everything is bothering me now. It is like a circus. I don’t want to be a hostage in this prison villa, I just want to be free. I don’t know what they want to do with me. Really, I do not know. It’s more hopeless day in and day out and I’m really tired of it all.
