We were supposed to go to the swimming pool together. But he finds me, gets me in his car. He drives on the highway, very quickly. There, I don’t know how to escape , I am terrified. We arrive in a forest and he throws me on the ground, and kicks me in the stomach”, says one of them. The other woman also bears witness to the man’s violence: “He hit me.
