"I paid $3,000 to the smuggler Abdullah to transfer me to Israel. He then demanded an additional $10,000 and tortured me - hooking up the metal chains to the electricity until we fainted. I went through torture like this for two and a half months, until my relatives from the USA, Europe, Saudi Arabia and Sudan managed to collect the additional $10,000."
Another said:
"We, the men in the group, tried to protect the young women from the smugglers who wanted to rape them. They took us, put our legs and hands in chains and raped us as a punishment."
A man said:
"Baha, the night guard, always looked at one of the women. We could tell that he wanted to rape her, but didn't want to leave us unwatched. On night he ordered all of us to look the other way and raped her right next to us. We heard her cries. We couldn't help her."
Another one said:
"I didn't know they were taking me to Sinai. In Sinai we were taken to Davit, from Eritrea, and two Bedouins: Khaled and Abdullah. They told us to pay to be smuggled to Israel. Only then did I understand that they wanted to transfer us" there.
