	(speaking in foreign language)	0:00
Interpreter	In the block where I was,	0:03
	which was block B, at x-ray, there was a man named Jumaha,	0:04
	whom I got to know a little,	0:08
	he's been released now, he was from Bahrain.	0:09
	And once he talked back to a guard who,	0:12
	he was often being insulted,	0:15
	so what did he do?	0:16
	Well, he insulted the guard back, so he talked back.	0:17
	There was a very harsh exchange of words with a guard.	0:21
	So later, several of them came,	0:24
	and it happened in front of me, in camp B.	0:26
	They came, they did their intervention,	0:28
	but when they did the intervention,	0:30
	they wanted to set an example.	0:32
	That is, the man in charge of the block videotaped it.	0:34
	He took his video camera, a small camera, this big,	0:37
	he filmed the intervention, and the guard inside his cage,	0:40
	they beat him up, and on top of it all,	0:43
	they grabbed Jumaha's head and bashed it on the floor,	0:46
	and later there were bloodstains.	0:49
	That was very, very, very violent	0:51
	because the intervention group, the guard,	0:54
	the top guard who was taping the scene,	0:56
	he asked for it to be especially violent	0:58
	because he wanted to make it an example	1:01
	of why we must not talk back.	1:03
	Even if we were being insulted, we must not insult back.	1:05
	So they really beat him up, they hit him,	1:09
	they bashed his head on the floor many times	1:11
	until there was blood.	1:13
	They tied him up and took him to another block.	1:15
	And I saw it, it happened inside my block.	1:17
