Yugoslavia's political prisoners show how they expected the New Year in prisons

Many Kosovars in wartime, New Year's, were waiting behind bars. Imprisoned because of the causes they were protecting, their treatment was not worthy. Many years later, some of the political prisoners relate how the New Year was celebrated.

Teuta Hadri is just one of the women who stayed in prison right through the holiday season.

Hadri says that many young women were sent to prison at the time. Tortured and beaten, they were treated inside prison walls, with onions and salt.

And for Selatine Novosella, who had spent more than a decade in prisons, the New Year meant hope that in the days to come, freedom will come.

For T7, Novosella says that when New Year's time came, they shared among themselves the foods that the family sent to them.
