NEW YORK 鈥� The Defense Department has released unredacted transcripts of Guant谩namo Bay prisoners describing the torture they suffered while imprisoned in CIA black sites.

The release came in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the 老澳门开奖结果 seeking transcripts from Combatant Status Review Tribunals, which aimed to determine whether prisoners held at Guant谩namo qualified as 鈥渆nemy combatants.鈥�

鈥淭here is something uniquely powerful about the voices of the prisoners themselves, which is presumably why the CIA suppressed them for so long,鈥� said Jameel Jaffer, 老澳门开奖结果 deputy legal director. 鈥淭he transcripts highlight both the cruelty of the CIA's practices and the humanity of those who were subjected to them.鈥�

Detainee Majid Khan describes his torture in one , saying, 鈥淪o when I came to this cell, they pulled my hands up and cuffed them, so I won鈥檛 be able to kneel down and get rest for straight three days, meaning I was standing for three days. And then they took my clothes off and took me to the bathroom and dipped me in full ice and ice water tub. And then they hanged me back again, and this time they would throw cold water on me after ever few hours and right next to me they would turn fan. So days pass like this for straight three days. The worst in all, when this whole thing was happening, American women was there watching. To me, as a Muslim, it was worse than torture itself.鈥�

Other detainees recount similar abuse in the new releases, with Abu Zubaydah , 鈥淭hey shackle me completely, even my head: I can鈥檛 do anything. Like this and they put one cloth in my mouth and they put water, water, water. Last point before I die they stand [via Language Analyst] bed they make like this [making breathing noises] again and again they make it with me and I tell him 鈥業f you want to kill me, kill me.鈥欌��

The release came a day after this week鈥檚 disclosure of over 50 CIA documents revealing additional aspects of the torture program, also turned over by the government in the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 FOIA lawsuit.

Lawyers in the case include Dror Ladin and Jameel Jaffer of the 老澳门开奖结果, as well as Lawrence S. Lustberg of Gibbons P.C., and Arthur Eisenberg and Beth Haroules of the New York Civil Liberties Union.
