Video: ‘I Thought I Was Going to Die’
In this Bulatlat.com video report, human-rights advocates narrate the ordeal of Filipino-American activist Melissa Roxas and her two companions.
“I thought I was going to die there and then,” Melissa states in her affidavit. “They held my feet and my hands down and doubled-up plastic bags were pulled down on my head and face and closed on my neck and I started to suffocate and I could not breathe anymore and I was seeing white and thinking I was going to die.”
