"I was taken away my stick and not allowed to sit down although there were lots of new chairs in the hall. The policeman himself was sitting. I said that I was a person of advanced age and could not stand without the stick, and I needed something to lean on. But I was not given a chair. We were made facing a wall and said to place our hands on it. That was just impudence. I have never experienced it before."
