Humanitarian Law Centermoney. Late Selim Tahiri called his sister Shevadie 68 and asked her for themoney because she kept the money. She came out and started taking outthe money she kept in her bra. I do not know how much money she had,but I do know that she separated around 200 marks. One of them took allof her money. In this moment Isak’s daughter Vallbone 69 was there, too.They took these two girls, Veradie and Vallbone 70 , put them inside the roomand searched them to see if they had any more money. They found a lot ofmoney on Vallbone, as she said it was around 7,000 German marks. Oneof the police officers told me to come in and asked money also from me. Itold him I only had some marks and he took that money. In that momenthe loaded his automatic rifle and put it against my forehead. He asked mewhere I hid the rest of the money. He said, ‘Tell me or I will kill you’. In thismoment I concluded he was going to kill us all. I had a blue jacket and Istarted to put on this jacket and told him, ‘Kill me, but we do not have anyother money’. In this moment some other person came and dragged himback. He punched me twice in the face. Then the third person came andasked him, ‘Why are you hitting this guy?’ I thought he was trying to protectme, but he also started hitting me and he tried to kick me in the genitals.In this moment I raised my leg to protect myself and he hit me in thethigh. He hit me so hard that I fainted. I fell and they ordered me to get up.Then some other police officer came and he was wearing a police jacket. Hehad all sorts of tools in that jacket, like screwdrivers, scissors, and pincers.All these police officers that I have just mentioned wore the same uniform.There were more than 50 in the yard. They wore a green camouflage uniformwith police written on the back. Not all of them wore caps, but thosewho did, wore the same caps. They were round, and they were also greencamouflage, just like the uniform.The police officer, who came later, took the pincers from his jacket and said,‘Do you know that I will pull all of your teeth out, one by one?’ In this momentI told him, ‘If I do anything to you then you pull my teeth out’. Thenthey said that we should send all men to the Podujevo Police Station. I wasbarefoot, but I did not dare ask them to take my shoes and I decided to goin my socks. When we came to the other entrance, I saw several pairs of68 Feradije Tahiri Jusufi69 Valbona70 Feradije [Tahiri Jusufi] and Valbona [Jusufi]194
