The first day, we arrived late in the afternoon, very tired; we were expecting to get a rest, but they took us to a place code named the Square, and another code named CTO. We were working with car tyres neck-laced on us, and turning giant tyres for a distance of 200m the whole night; we didn't sleep!" one of the youth told The Monitor on Friday.
