There are Conspiracy Theories :: Conspiracy Facts messages in this article. It clearly illustrates very important issues for those who are able to discern them. I've given you a couple of hints. by Fahad Ansari “I am already dead. My soul, my life, my heart - every part of me is dead. I am just like a machine walking, with no other feeling. I have nothing left - I cannot even sleep at night; I have nightmares of what they have done to me, to my wife, my children, my time in prison , the searches... this is enough, I’ve lost my senses, I’ve been driven insane, I can no longer take it. What is the point of living? I’ve lost everything, I’ve lost my wife, I might as well kill myself, that is better for me. I swear by God I have written to Gordon Brown saying that you have two weeks, if I am not helped in this period I will kill myself, whether that’s by throwing myself in front of a train, or slitting my wrists, or throwing myself from a high building , or taking an overdose, whatever it takes. Nobody has lived the life I have or what I’ve had to endure.” These heart-wrenching words were uttered by terror suspect Mahmoud Abu Rideh in an interview aired on Press TV on 28 May 2009. They are the utterances of a broken man, a shattered soul, a human being absolutely devastated by the cruel mechanisms of a powerful state. Abu Rideh is a man who has never been charged with any offence, terrorism or otherwise; he has never been asked a single question about his alleged involvement with terrorism nor has he ever been told why he is suspected of being a threat or shown any evidence that is being used against him. Yet, for seven and a half years, he and his family have been forced to live a life of humiliation and degradation, the depravity of which is not fit for beasts, let alone decent human beings. [Mahmoud] Abu Rideh is the symbol of all that is wrong and immoral about the ‘war on terror’. He has physically and psychologically been inflicted with every abuse and rights violations that are abstractly debated in conferences, lectures and seminars by lawyers and activists. Abu Rideh is the British government’s key lab-rat in its counter-terrorism experiment. He is a prime example of the State putting a human being through the most tortuous living conditions to the extent that death alone appears to be the only hope of liberation. In essence, he has been given a chronic death sentence without ever knowing why. Abu Rideh’s traumatic ordeal began on 19 December 2001, the second day of Eid, when dozens of armed police officers stormed his home in a pre-dawn raid. Abu Rideh was assaulted in front of his terrified wife and five crying children. Taken away to maximum security Belmarsh prison, he was placed under 23 hour lock up without ever being told why. Having already spent a significant number of years in administrative detention in Israeli jails where he was brutally tortured, this indefinite imprisonment drove Abu Rideh psychologically insane. He was transferred to Broadmoor Security Mental Hospital where he was frequently assaulted by staff, nurses, and other prisoners. Placed in solitary confinement, Abu Rideh now began to self-harm, drinking detergents and using pens to dig deep into his arms. cageprisoners continues | ||
