Description
Maria stood at the door of her cramped holding cell, barely able to stretch her arms in the narrow 8-foot-deep, 2-foot-wide space. The cold, unyielding bars were a harsh reminder of her sudden fall into a nightmare. Only 24 hours ago, she was navigating a bustling market, enjoying the vibrant culture of a foreign land. Now, she was accused of crimes she didn't commit.

She had been arrested on baseless charges, a victim of local corruption targeting unsuspecting travelers. The language barrier made it difficult for her to defend herself or even understand the full extent of the accusations.

A police officer and a stern man in a suit approached, their presence filling the small corridor with an air of authority. The suited man, holding a notepad, began questioning her in halting English. Maria, her voice steady despite her exhaustion, reiterated her innocence, explaining how she was merely on a business trip and had no involvement in illegal activities.

The officer stood silently, observing. Maria’s mind wandered to her family and colleagues back home, hoping they would realize something was wrong and contact the embassy. She felt isolated and vulnerable but clung to her determination to prove her innocence. For now, she stood resolute, awaiting any sign of a resolution.
