- | Usually the punishment comes to us | 0:06 |
when we resist some of the search methods. | 0:09 | |
Like female guards come in and when they search, | 0:14 | |
when they are taking us to the shower | 0:18 | |
and things like that, they touch our private parts. | 0:21 | |
Also they could just search us without doing so. | 0:26 | |
And then when don't do that they shout | 0:30 | |
and they bang the doors. | 0:33 | |
And then one time actually, when they were giving breakfast | 0:36 | |
it's supposed to give the plate with the food. | 0:41 | |
The guard gave him empty plate. | 0:45 | |
There's nothing just empty plate. | 0:48 | |
And he said, "Where's my food?" | 0:51 | |
And the guard says, "This is for you. This is your food." | 0:53 | |
So he just took the plate, | 0:58 | |
this empty plate there's nothing on it. | 1:00 | |
No plastic utensils or no food, nothing just empty plate. | 1:02 | |
And he just sat there patiently didn't have his breakfast. | 1:07 | |
Everybody else was eating and he just sat there. | 1:10 | |
And then after, when they came back to pick up the trash, | 1:13 | |
he gives the plate back and the guard says, | 1:18 | |
"Where's the spoon?" | 1:22 | |
"Well, you didn't give me spoon, | 1:24 | |
you just give me the plate." | 1:25 | |
He says "No, I gave you the spoon. Give the spoon back." | 1:26 | |
And he says, "I don't have the spoon, | 1:30 | |
you didn't give me a spoon." | 1:31 | |
And he wanted to search the cell and he didn't let him. | 1:32 | |
He says, "I'm not going to let you search | 1:36 | |
because you didn't give me a spoon." | 1:37 | |
And he called for the captain, | 1:39 | |
the person in charge or the translator. | 1:42 | |
He wanted to speak to them. | 1:45 | |
And then finally, they came with the translator. | 1:47 | |
It was an elder gentleman that was the incident | 1:50 | |
was after I left, actually. | 1:53 | |
So the elder gentleman came in | 1:55 | |
and the translator tried to talk him into let them search. | 1:56 | |
And he kept saying, "No, he didn't, | 2:00 | |
the guard didn't give me food. | 2:02 | |
The guard didn't give me food and the spoon | 2:04 | |
and now he's asking for spoon, | 2:07 | |
he wants to search, I'm not going to let him." | 2:09 | |
And the translator tried to talk him | 2:11 | |
into letting them search. | 2:14 | |
He says, "If you don't, then they're going to beat you up | 2:15 | |
and they're going to be harsh on you. | 2:18 | |
So please just come out so they can search your block." | 2:20 | |
He said, "No, I'm not going to come out." | 2:23 | |
And then they called all the 20-30 guards to come | 2:25 | |
and forcefully get him up. | 2:30 | |
So he says, "I'm not coming out." | 2:31 | |
He was stubborn. | 2:33 | |
He went on his bed and lied down there. | 2:36 | |
He just lied on his bed. | 2:39 | |
And the person who's not resisting the fight, | 2:42 | |
or he's lying quietly on the bed, | 2:45 | |
they came in and they sprayed him. | 2:48 | |
They sprayed the block with the gas | 2:51 | |
and then sprayed him and all that. | 2:53 | |
And then he was getting nauseated with that. | 2:56 | |
And then they sprayed some chemical | 2:59 | |
on the top of like a dish towel. | 3:01 | |
And then on the on the towel and put it on his face, | 3:06 | |
rubbing on his face, putting on his mouth. | 3:09 | |
And then, actually the 20, 30 guards, | 3:12 | |
there was a psychologist. | 3:16 | |
And then the person in charge and translator, | 3:20 | |
everybody was there. | 3:23 | |
And then they beat him up | 3:26 | |
and they dragged him out of his cell block, | 3:28 | |
and cut him up, undressed, took all his clothes off. | 3:30 | |
He was only wearing underwear. | 3:33 | |
And then he was trying to spit on the guards | 3:37 | |
and he was trying to fight, but he's all shackled up. | 3:39 | |
They tied him up. | 3:42 | |
So many people around him and then he was just fighting. | 3:43 | |
He says, "I tried to spit. It's not going to reach them. | 3:47 | |
But I was fighting and spitting on people and stuff." | 3:50 | |
And the psychiatrist says, "He's going crazy. | 3:52 | |
He's mentally, he's not stable. | 3:56 | |
So we need to put him in the mental block." | 3:59 | |
The place that they keep all the people who's mentally, | 4:03 | |
having mental problems. | 4:07 | |
So they brought him to Delta, which is a mental, | 4:09 | |
a place that they keep people with mental problems. | 4:14 | |
And then when they brought him there | 4:17 | |
he was absolutely naked. | 4:20 | |
And they took all his clothes, underwear, everything off. | 4:22 | |
There's no sheets, no towels in the cell block, | 4:25 | |
just the isle mat. | 4:27 | |
It's a thin piece of rubber mat. | 4:29 | |
So he was trying to put that around his private parts. | 4:32 | |
And then he was knocking the camera, asking them to come in, | 4:39 | |
to give him some clothes, | 4:45 | |
to give him underwear, he was cold. | 4:47 | |
And they wouldn't give him clothes and he couldn't sleep. | 4:49 | |
And then this Arab guy next to him, | 4:52 | |
gave him an idea, taught him something. | 4:57 | |
He says, "If you try to create the big problem | 4:59 | |
then they will come and pay attention" | 5:03 | |
because he was trying to call for the person in charge. | 5:04 | |
He wanted to talk to somebody, but nobody would come in. | 5:06 | |
They just left him there and nobody would come in | 5:09 | |
and speak to him. | 5:11 | |
Nobody would do anything. | 5:12 | |
And then the Arab guys says, | 5:13 | |
"If you try to kill yourself, you try to do something | 5:15 | |
then they will come right away." | 5:18 | |
So he found something that he can try to hang himself. | 5:20 | |
So he put that up and he pretend like | 5:24 | |
he was trying to hang himself. | 5:27 | |
When they see that on camera, they showed up immediately. | 5:30 | |
They came in right away and then they sprayed him again. | 5:34 | |
And then they give him shot and he was sort of passed out. | 5:39 | |
