Zuheyr, unknown age
Methods of Torture: Beatings for the Victim's Religious Beliefs or Other Insults; Cutting with Blades
“During interrogation I was blindfolded, cuffed behind my back, forced to kneel. ‘Are you Muslim?’ ‘Yes’. ‘Do you kneel before Allah?’ ‘Yes’. ‘Now you will kneel to Bashar.’ ‘I pray to Allah,’ I said, so they beat me badly. I still have this head wound caused by a rifle butt.”
“They beat me badly. I still have this head wound caused from the Kalash-butt and was also stabbed with the [fixed] bayonet of the Kalash.”
“Zuheyr”, a man in his fifties from Da’el, Dera’a governorate, said that he had been detained four times between 25 May and 15 October 2011 and held in virtually all branches of the security forces. He is describing the torture he suffered after his last arrest, when he was held by Air Force Intelligence officials in Dera’a for 26 days.
