There is no humanity left in them. They laid my husband on the floor and started kicking. They grabbed my by the hair and threw me on the ground when I tried to stop them. They were screaming 'lay down on the ground'. When my daughter asked them what they were doing they punched and kicked her too and laid her on the ground. They held a gun to her head and kneeled on her back. They did it to my little girl."
