We don’t trust the police. If we come from town, police vehicles yell at us like we are animals. They point at some of us. We have psychological problems, and shouting can affect our brains. So they shout. They search you, make you remove your sneakers like you are animals or thieves. But we didn’t commit any crime. When I see police, I lock myself inside the container to try and feel safer. But even then, I am worried they could bomb the container. Do you think the people would feel comfortable saying no when asked to be spies? They can’t say no. If someone says no, everyday policemen will harass them. If they say yes, policemen everyday will ask them for new information. If they don’t have new information, they will be harsh with bad words and ask them to do his duty as a good spy. © Samos Advocacy Collective Page 8
