The prisoners were taken in buses to the main gates. They were then made to stand in two lines. The children were separated and taken to the changing rooms that served as detention facilities. A large number of civilians were detained at the stadium and at least 15 were killed. The prisoners were abused, beaten and tortured on a daily basis.
