My hands shook as a man approached wearing a black balaclava that disguised his identity despite his brightly-colored traditional peasant garb. He led me into a barn that was only lit by the sun filtering between the cracks in the rough boards of the walls. My eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness to reveal two other men and a woman seated on a bench in the corner who were similarly dressed and disguised...
