The faithful man still confused and, among the few words he could say, was that all this time inside the cell has made him even more upset for his family, how I had left him alone at home, because he was the head of the family.

I've been taken to the police station, where I've stayed until May 10th evening questioning various inspectors. Then I was taken to the Constitutional Court Skopje 1. When they actually took me there, I didn't know what was going on, they took me in before the investigative judge, they gave me a statement, when they brought me back to the hall, there came the Kumanovo group, I saw them there for the first time, they were so sorry, they were bleeding, they were badly beaten... then from there beating us up the special unit to the Shutka prison, they beat us”, he told T. V HOLY.
He said they have already talked to the lawyer to ask for compensation.
The joyful mother, who has been returned to her son, says that they have experienced his absence very seriously. And they had it even harder when the children were looking for his father.
My mind was on him, open his eyes, I'm in my head. Where the Faithful was staying, where we were sitting... And where Dad was going to go or where the girl was coming from, I would tell you, Daddy didn't always go to stay...
