Some people have spend 5 hours handcuffed to benches without food or water.* Also access to toilet facilities has been denied and people have been forced to wet themselves.  Others have fainted whilst handcuffed in the corridoor for hours. Volunteers from the people's kitchens asked to be able to provide food for the hundreds of prisoners, since the authorities seem incapeable of looking after them, but this was refused. #arrests
