16 | @simsimt: I remember very clearly that I was writing about the huge attempts made by #NISS to prevent any documentation of the protest. | @simsimt: Tadidiko mazava tsara fa nanoratra momba ny fanafihana goavana nataon'ny #NISS izay manakana ny fitantarana ny fihetsiketsehana aho. |

19 | @simsimt: Locking my phone, which I've password-protected, later became the catalyst for much abuse, torture & interrogation I'd endured #SudanRevolts | @simsimt: Mihidy ny findaiko, ary izaho ihany no manana ny tenihiditra aminy, nanjary loza ho ahy anefa izany satria fanararaotam-pahefana maro, fijaliana & fanadihadiana no niharetako #SudanRevolts |

22 | #SudanRevolts | #SudanRevolts |
23 | @simsimt: I fiercely refused. | @simsimt: Nolaviko hatrany anefa izany. |
24 | When they finally gave up on me, I was taken alone on a pickup, blindfolded, to #NISS premises in Bahri. | Rehefa tsy hitan'izy ireo intsony izay atao, naiditra tanaty fiara manokana an'ny #NISS aho hoentina any Bahri. |
