Testimony of a refugee presented in 1903 to Roger Casement, British Consul, as he conducted an official investigation of alleged brutalities connected with the rubber industry.

"We were always in the forest to find the rubber vines, to go without food, and our women had to give up cultivating the fields and gardens. Then we starved. Leopards kill some of us while we were working away in the forest and others got lost or died from exposure and starvation. We begged the white man to leave us alone... When we failed and our rubber was short, the soldiers came to our towns and killed us. Many were shot, some had their ears cut off; others were tied up with ropes round their necks and taken away."
