When this captain was sent to the back of the Macan, he began yelling at the other detainees to fight back as a group. In response, one of the Indonesian officers stepped forward and slapped the captain squarely across the face. The blow was hard enough that I could hear it from ten feet away over the roar of the waves and moan of the engine. “Sit down!” the officer yelled. The captain did as he was told.
