We didn't know what was on them," he said, speaking from a mobile phone obtained by bribing a guard. "We were not referred to a judge at all. The investigative officers came to us asking us to confess to release our wives, or they would never see daylight again."
He said in one prison up to 20 people were kept in a small bathroom. "They put us in this bathroom handcuffed and every three hours they call for investigation and then the torture session starts," he said.
Those who could pay $40,000 to $100,000 were allowed to go free, he said. Those who couldn't pay were forced to implicate people they didn't know in crimes if they wanted their own wives and children to be freed, he added.
"I've been in five prisons so far and I've seen mostly young people or elderly ones, all of them held under Article 4," he said. "Some of them were arrested in place of their cousins, or brothers or relatives … Even now whenever they take us to any prison once they know we are kept under Article 4 terrorism, they start beating or torturing us or putting us in solitary confinement."
