They were no terrorists or mentally deranged human being.
They were the prisoners of loan shark, a.k.a Ah Long, in Malaysia, yes, it happened in Malaysia.
The loan sharks set up their own "private jail" to hold borrowers defaulted on their payments.
One of the "prisoners" who was set free after the family settled the loan, informed the police of such jail.
Prime Minister Najib expressed shock with the media report and ordered the relevant authority to take swift action against the culprits.
The Prime Minister said he could not believe how inhumane some Ah Longs could be against those who fail to settle their debts.
A supervisor and two runners of the syndicate were arrested. So far, no big fish was being arrested.
Police were now zeroing in on loan shark syndicates in the area. Deputy Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar said the police would not show any mercy to loan sharks who hurt people.
It sounded familiar. The Police was saying the same thing many years ago when loan sharks started splashing paints to houses and burning houses of loan defaulters. If Police stayed true to its words, the loan sharks would not be so bold today as to set up private jail.

他们是没能力还钱给大耳窿，被他们关在“私人监狱”里面的人。
一位还清了大耳窿的债，而被释放出来的受害者，通知警方有关“私人监牢”的事。
首相纳吉表示对媒体报道表示震惊，并下令有关当局迅速采取行动，把犯法者绳之以法。他说真的不敢相信大耳窿会采取这么残忍的方法来对付没法还钱的人。
一位大耳窿集团的负责人和两位跑腿，被逮捕并控上法庭。到目前为止，还没有任何“大鱼”被捕。
警方正集中火力，调查附件地区的集团。副总警长说警方对那些伤害人民的大耳窿，绝不会手下留情。
这话听起来很熟悉。几年前，当大耳窿开始对欠债者的住家抛漆及烧屋子时，警方也是这么说。假如当时警方真的手下不留情，就不会造就他们今天胆大包天的开设“私人监牢”了。
