Person tortured in Ministry of Defense
“In early 2009, the army intelligence services came to my house and asked me to follow them to the military barrack of my area for some questions, as they said. I was kept there, in the barrack, for four days with no explanation and without letting me contact anyone. The fifth day I was brought up in a Jeep, and I was blindfolded when arriving to the Ministry of Defense. Before I even had time to realize anything, I was hung to the balanco. I was blindfolded, and they told me I had to confess that I was a member of a terrorist group. I spent seven hours suspended to the balanco! In total I spent 6 days in the Ministry of Defense. I got electric shocks, I was forced to stand for hours with my legs apart, I heard every insult possible. I ended up signing everything without being allowed to read! On the sixth day, I was taken to a small room. There a man examined me. He told the others that the torture should stop because I was exhausted. It was the doctor. "
