‘Things were like hell’
The early days of Kojlov’s imprisonment were like “terrible hell”. He was kept in different houses for 8 months, where a contingent of 2 dozen terrorists living with him was monitored. He said that some people pretended to be compassion, others used to treat their prisoners like animals. In some detention sites, he slept on a wet, sticky mattress, which caused the blur.
