One night around ten o'clock, I began to hear a terrible noise. Seventy or eighty combatants with riot gear entered the compound carrying with them batons, gunny bags and buckets. All those standing were marched out. Each prisoner was handcuffed to the other in line. Each line consisted of 30 people. We were all beaten and each of the guards tortured us in any way or form desired. Like this we were all driven towards the beach and were thrown into the lagoon. Once we were drenched in the sea, we were taken onto the beach and beaten. We were thus run around the whole Island as time progressed, those prisoners who were old and weak fell to the ground and as a result received further injuries, as we were handcuffed in a bunch. When this happened, the guards would use their boots to kick them and force them to get up and continue. Later the whole line of prisoners was lashed together across coconut trunks with the handcuffs secured to these trunks. We were kept like this for 3 days and 3 nights. While we were kept like this, the guards filled bottles with urine and poured urine and coffee over our heads. This whole exercise was carried out by the police. The staffs of the Department of Corrections are never allowed to be present at this location when we were tortured. It is forbidden. The only Correction staffs allowed was one who carried the food, loaded on to a push cart. During this period of 3 days those who were handcuffed and kept inside the cells also were kept on the ground on their knees and with their arms over stretched. And if any prisoner, out of those kept inside their cells made any noise or gesture towards the guards whoever was caught would be dragged and thrown into the sea, with his hands cuffed.
