| - | So this is the one about prolonged restraining. | 0:03 |
| This is the one about how he was handcuffed | 0:08 | |
| for 120 days straight. | 0:13 | |
| And when he had to be moved from one black site to another, | 0:17 | |
| they had to cut the handcuffs by bolt cutter. | 0:20 | |
| Because they were so rusted | 0:24 | |
| that they wouldn't open with keys. | 0:25 | |
| And he actually goes on to talk about how, | 0:27 | |
| because he had both his hands tied together, | 0:31 | |
| he says, during that time, half of my body, | 0:33 | |
| either the left side or the right, | 0:35 | |
| would go numb, because I couldn't move my arms away | 0:37 | |
| from each other. | 0:42 | |
| Until this day, I am suffering from this symptom, | 0:43 | |
| along with multiple neurological pains all over my body, | 0:46 | |
| as the handcuffs and restraints are still being used | 0:51 | |
| on me daily. | 0:54 | |
| And this is true. | 0:55 | |
| He's still, you know. | 0:56 | |
| Interviewer | Why would they still be used on him? | 0:57 |
| - | Oh, when they, at Guantanamo, anytime they're moved, | 0:58 |
| they are handcuffed and restrained. | 1:02 | |
| In the courtroom, when he sits in the courtroom with us, | 1:04 | |
| he has a a leg restraint on at all times. | 1:07 | |
| Now they have two guards for each detainee | 1:11 | |
| standing right next to the table, | 1:13 | |
| but he is restrained at all times. | 1:15 | |
| When we meet with him, he is restrained. | 1:18 | |
| When they move them from, you know, | 1:22 | |
| wherever their cells are to the meeting rooms | 1:25 | |
| or to the courtroom, they are handcuffed and restrained. | 1:27 | |
| And, I think, there's some sensory deprivation as well. | 1:32 |
