Interview Ruhal Ahmed Part 3

Part 3 of 3 of an interview with former Guantanamo detainee Ruhal Ahmed about torture with music. Torture with music - a standard interrogation procedure in Guantanamo and other secrect American prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan. Prisoners are being physically tortured and then subjected to deafening music and strobelight, for days, even weeks, to break them. Experts warn, that this form of psychological torture is as serious as physical torture. In late 2001 Ruhal Ahmed visited Pakistan with friends. The young men were looking for adventure and travelled to Afghanistan. There they were caught in the crossfire of Taliban and advancing Northern Alliance and US troops. After being imprisoned by US troops, a nightmare in several detention camps followed, ending with years in Guantanamo. In this interview from autumn 2008 for the German language cultural television station "3sat" Ruhal Ahmed talks about torture in Guantanamo. The original tv report from Jürgen Hansen and Simone Stripp has been broadcasted on October 7, 2008 on "3sat" television's daily programme "kulturzeit" and can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6ox9KrFMo0
