Okay? You don&#8217;t have to say anything, but it might harm your defense if you don&#8217;t answer any questions, something you should later line in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Necessity for that is going to be to prompt an effective investigation and prevent harm, right. We need to conduct a quick search..Let&#8217;s keep this simple. Where&#8217;s your phone? <\/p>\n<p>Rahma: Why do you keep doing this? You know, this is your fourth time. <\/p>\n<p>Police: Just come sit in the front and stop recording me please.<\/p>\n<p>Rahma: For your allegations, what was the section? <\/p>\n<p>Police: I&#8217;m not sure I didn&#8217;t actually use my phone upstairs, but I think it was one of the terrorists. <\/p>\n<p>Rahma: What force are you? <\/p>\n<p>Police: I am in Somerset, so I\u2019m the local force.<\/p>\n<p>Rahma: And they are?<\/p>\n<p>Police: Metropolitan Police. <\/p>\n<p>Unknown woman: Why you don&#8217;t let me call her lawyer?<\/p>\n<p>Police: She&#8217;ll get the chance to do that while she&#8217;s in custody. <\/p>\n<p>Unknown woman: I want to call him now. <\/p>\n<p>Police: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Unknown woman: What&#8217;s the time?<\/p>\n<p>Police: 6:20.<\/p>\n<p>Rahma: November, they arrested me after November.<\/p>\n<p>Unknown woman: Yeah, they arrested her in December. <\/p>\n<p>Rahma: And then twice. Twice, I&#8217;ve been arrested twice since 4th of December and then the 16th. <\/p>\n<p>Unknown woman: Yes. Why they do it again now? <\/p>\n<p>Rahma: They&#8217;re not giving me, like three weeks to exist without arresting me. It must be for alleged social media. They arrested me two days before my tribunal where I was fighting for my medical license. <\/p>\n<p>Unknown woman: Yeah. <\/p>\n<p>Rahma: And then they arrested me on the 4th of December. And they arrested me two weeks after that. The 4th arrest, for alleged posts on social media. <\/p>\n<p>Unknown woman: Yeah. Do you remember they arrested you twice for the same posts. Why they don&#8217;t want us to see what they doing? Okay you\u2019re watching her, why me? I mean, you watching her. Why don&#8217;t you let me go to my room? Unless they want to plant something. No, unless they want to put something so they can accuse her. <\/p>\n<p>Rahma: You\u2019re not allowed to go upstairs in your own house.<\/p>\n<p>Unknown woman: No, it doesn&#8217;t make sense. I mean, you come in for her. Why? <\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re not allowed to go upstairs in your own house. You&#8217;re not allowed to go to your own room. <\/p>\n<p>Unknown woman: No. <\/p>\n<p>Rahma: You are here blocked in this room. This is because I want to go to the loo. <\/p>\n<p>Police: Yes. Just to make sure you did nothing to harm yourself or for anyone while you\u2019re in there. <\/p>\n<p>Unknown woman: We don&#8217;t care. Be strong. We are strong.
