Страна свободы, eh?

For most of the time, I was kept in a secure room in their office without access to my luggage or a phone. I was then taken in an armoured van to a detention center, had all my personal effects taken away, including my shoe-laces of all things, and put in a cold cell, consisting of little more than a cold metal bench and a bank of very bright lights. I was supposed to ’sleep’ there, but that didn’t happen, how could it? It was freezing cold and unbearably bright. There was no indication of time anywhere, it was 9 hours of haze.. I don’t remember much from then. When I was removed from the cell I was taken back to another armoured van, hands behind my back and driven back to the airport where I was escorted under armed guard, back to the Homeland security office. It was at this point that I demanded to speak to the British Consulat, who had been working to resolve the situation. I was able to speak to my parents, and to a Consulsar officer for advice, but at 18:00 PST that day, was removed from the United States, along with the majority of the Blizzcon equipment that I had been transporting with me. I tried to leave the suitcase for pickup, they refused to help me. By the time I got on the plane I had not slept in over 48 hours.
