They slapped a student who asked about the arrest warrant. We were handcuffed and confused,” Sikandar, 23, told UCA News. “They collected our smartphones in a black plastic bag. Only the tap water of dirty toilets was available in lockups. The trauma has changed me forever. I only witnessed injustice in police captivity.”
