If you are held hostage by terrorists, then your main task is to stay alive. And the main thing in this situation is not to provoke criminals. Self-directed attempts to free yourself or even just defiant behavior can have tragic consequences, not only for you, but also for those around you. Therefore, try to avoid actions that can provoke criminals to take action.
Instructions
Step 1
Fulfill all the requirements of the terrorists, do not contradict them, do not enter into disputes. Try to stay calm, don't panic, don't get hysterical, and try to calm the people around you as much as possible.
Step 2
Be prepared to wait. Contact with terrorists, negotiations, drawing up a psychological portrait of criminals, developing a plan for a rescue operation - all this will take at least a few hours.
Step 3
Do not look terrorists in the face, look away or lower your gaze to the floor. Do not react to insults and humiliation from them.
Step 4
If you need to take any action (get up, sit down, drink water or take medicine, go to the toilet, etc.), ask permission. Remember that any gesture you make can be interpreted as a threat. If you are not feeling well, please report it.
Step 5
If terrorists interrogate you, answer the questions clearly and in monosyllables, do not ponder your answers for a long time. Do not try to avoid contact, but at the same time, do not demonstrate too obvious a willingness to cooperate with terrorists - this may arouse their suspicion.
Step 6
Try to remember as many signs of terrorists as possible - how they behaved, how they talked, how they spoke to each other, what weapons and what means of communication they used. If suddenly you identified one of them, do not show it.
Step 7
Try not to be near door or window openings - if the special services start storming the building, these places will be the most dangerous.
Step 8
When the operation to free you has begun, you should not run towards the intelligence officers or try to take possession of the terrorists' weapons - in this case, you may be mistaken for a criminal. At the first sign of an assault, lie facedown on the floor, cover your head with your hands and do not move. So you risk the least.
