Dawn Raid Testimony of Tesimoni Fuavao We didn t get to say goodbye to my parents. My little brother Masiu and I were left at the house with the other Tongan families living there. Masiu was only 6 years old.
The officers didn t care about what would happen to Masiu and I. They just took our parents and left. We were very confused about everything and didn t know what to do. We just wanted to be with our parents. Masiu was crying. I was angry, and I didn t know how to care for him because I was still sick myself. We didn t have any money. The neighbours fed us. - Tesimoni Fuavao in his testimony.
