Her period had started, and she was bleeding heavily. But she received only a single sanitary pad after repeated requests – after bloodstains had already spread across her clothing. There were no painkillers available. There, covered in blood on a rudimentary toilet, she cried for the second time. After that, she was given prison clothing.

«There are three tables on the left side and telephones on the right side. Behind them are the beds, one next to the other. There were two toilets, two sinks and two showers. But everything was open, there was no privacy.»

She had to put her blood-soaked clothes back on and was once again chained by her hands, feet and waist. At the airport, several security officers – one carrying a weapon – escorted her to her plane. She only got her passport and smartphone back once she was in the air.

Cruelty is the point.

For your own safety, never travel to the United States.

I wonder what would happen if the rest of the world started treating US tourists the same way...

If they're millionaires or worse (billionaires) they should absolutely be told to go back home and fix the mess they've made.

Yeah require an income verification in order to get a visa and then tax the shit out of them to travel abroad.

I'm guessing you're from Europe. American tourists that go to Europe generally are of significantly higher income than the rest of us. Please, do treat them like shit. Also, if you can make the whole process costly for them, that would be greatly appreciated.

If our governments had any balls, this would be incredible. Might be an issue for US refugees tho

Sadly it could just be a race to the bottom to see who can treat the other side the worst.

We would also loose the moral superiority on the issue.

"welcome to France" shoots them multiple times "et ne reviens pas"

As an American though I'd totally understand
