00:00:00and you don't know."
00:00:30someone named I don't know what he was saying, I
00:00:33forgot, the one who tortured and did things,
00:00:36he was a very big man sitting on a chair, he
00:00:40kicked me in the chest and I
00:00:43fell off the chair. The security chief was sitting
00:00:46there and said I'm telling you that your case
00:00:49will be closed. For us, your last investigation here must be one
00:00:53who says, I said I don't know about anything
00:00:57else. These things that you have seized, I don't know
00:01:00about them. He said, how did these things get
00:01:04seized? How were you? I said I didn't know. My
00:01:08brother is a Mujahid.
00:01:11He was the one who tortured a lot
00:01:14there. After that, they had a thing called a mulberry tree.
00:01:18He said, take him to the mulberry tree. That mulberry
00:01:21tree was something like an electric chair.
00:01:23I was
00:01:27there when you sat down, I said, "Okay, go."
00:02:00They took him away. We stayed there all night.
00:02:03My whole body was hurting. I was not feeling well. I
00:02:07didn't know what was happening until morning. In the morning, we saw
00:02:10that they transferred us to Maabest.
00:02:14We were in Maabest, Logar for one month and 18 days.
00:02:18In Maabest,
00:02:22our family came to visit us there.
00:02:25They came to visit. I saw them coming on Mondays and
00:02:29Wednesdays. We were there for one month and 18 days. After
00:02:32that, one day, they called
00:02:36my name. I was very happy and thought maybe
00:02:40I would be released. When I went out, I saw that
00:02:43the police had come. The
00:02:46police had come. When I saw the
00:02:49cars, it was written 041.
00:02:53dragged out. At that time, my foot was swollen.
00:02:57They dragged me out. They put a sack
00:03:01on our heads and blindfolded us. There were two
00:03:04of us. One was named Samad Khushana.
00:03:07They tortured me a lot. My foot was swollen, and the situation
00:03:11was very bad. They put us in a dirty car and
00:03:14threw us inside. It had windows.
00:03:18They were smoking hashish and things. We felt very
00:03:21uneasy. They brought us along
00:03:24the way and transferred us to Directorate
00:03:2740. Directorate 4, which
00:04:00was a high chair, was about the size of a
00:04:03pepper grinder. They just left me on the
00:04:07ground. He said, "Your investigation in Logar is over.
00:04:11We have a prosecutor here. We will investigate." He blindfolded
00:04:15us and put a big thumb
00:04:18on my hand and left me on the ground, saying, "If
00:04:22you don't confess in your own words, you'll stay
00:04:25here." I said, "What I said in Logar is what it is. I don't
00:04:29know anything else."
00:04:56It was one night that I woke up and couldn't move my arm.
00:05:02My arm was completely flat at that time. It was
00:05:04not working at all. Then another one, the
00:05:08one who used to torture, said, "Hit him."
00:05:42What I said in Logar, I don't know anything
00:05:45else.
00:05:47That's how they finished
00:05:49our hands there.
00:05:52And then at that time, I got very sick. Because
00:05:56of the weather, we hadn't seen the weather for a week
00:05:59or so. We hadn't seen the weather for about 11
00:06:03or 12 days. We were in the punitive cells of Directorate
00:06:0640. We were allowed
00:06:09to leave for 5 minutes a week.
00:06:13In the morning, they would come early in the morning from the
00:06:17other side. It was for counting people and things. Early
00:06:21in the morning, they would come and bring you a glass first.
00:06:24Each of these rooms had two doors.
00:06:27Each row had 18 rooms, and each
00:06:31one had two doors. When they brought one glass, they would open
00:06:35these two doors. Finally, they wouldn't let you sleep. They
00:06:38would just bring the glasses for one or four people.
00:06:41They would give
00:07:13them to you. Well, here
00:07:16we were in Directorate 40 for about one and a half months.
00:07:20In Directorate
00:07:2240, we were there for about one month and a day. Then
00:07:26they read the names of the prisoners. The prisoners
00:07:28were very happy. They thought that we might
00:07:31be released. When we went out, we saw that
00:07:35the police had come. They had voluntary chains
00:07:37on their hands. They had brought
00:07:41the prisoners to Dals Kul.
00:08:12Bagram. When we went to
00:08:15Bagram, when we entered the gate of Bagram,
00:08:18they handed over the things to us at Directorate
00:08:2140. We put on our clothes and things. When we went to the
00:08:25Bagram gate, when we entered there, they told
00:08:28us to take off all our clothes and wear prison
00:08:32clothes, because it's different here. They also
00:08:36took our scarves and turbans and blindfolded
00:08:39us. They took us to the
00:08:43solitary cells. When they took us to the solitary cells, they told
00:08:47us to put on our clothes. They blindfolded
00:08:49us.
00:08:53There was a small thing, they took
00:08:55us. They opened the door and threw
00:08:59us inside, behind the door. The
00:09:02solitary cells had a thing
00:09:06for food. They would bring bread and things and bring them
00:09:09inside, tea and things. He reached out
00:09:12his hand. He opened our eyes. We
00:09:15saw that it was a solitary cell, about
00:09:18one and a half by one and a half.
00:09:22There was a commode. There was a toilet there. You would flush it.
00:09:26The door was very thick. It
00:09:29had large, armored doors. They had also left
00:09:33the Holy Quran next to the commode.
00:09:36When we saw that situation and these things, when we
00:09:40saw the urinal and the Quran
00:10:12there. So that there is no disrespect to the Quran,
00:10:16we put it a little higher. Sometimes
00:10:18we would read the Holy Quran. The commode was higher, so we
00:10:22would sit down and read the Quran. This commode.
00:11:00We were there for about a month. The prosecutor was
00:11:04investigating us, what we had done and what
00:11:07we were doing in Logar. Finally, they made a
00:11:10case for us. When the case was closed, after
00:11:14one month, they transferred us to large rooms.
00:11:17We were in rooms that could hold about 32
00:11:21or 31 people. They took us there.
00:11:25There was a block named Delta.
00:11:29First, we were in the Amit block for a month. After that, they
00:11:32called our names. The clothes of Amit were different
00:11:36from the army. They brought the clothes for each
00:11:40person. They had numbers. They didn't call names. Everything
00:11:43was by number. They read our numbers and transferred
00:11:46us to the Delta block. It was a place named
00:11:50Delta. It was a block that had 32
00:11:53or 31 people inside. It was a block that
00:11:57was for torture and things. It had windows on its
00:12:00roof. It had window panes. They took
00:12:04us there. After three
00:12:08or four days there, we saw that in the morning, they transferred
00:12:12us for judgment. That was
00:12:15when God put a lot of this
00:12:18in our hearts.
00:12:22Alhamdulillah, it was the zeal
00:12:24of Islam. I spent a lot of time with the Mujahideen.
00:12:28I wasn't thinking about these prisoners and things. That's
00:12:31why I said, "Mawlawi, there were many Mawlawi sahibs there.
00:12:35They were very supportive. They encouraged
00:12:37us a lot.
00:12:40When he repeated it, he said that they had given
00:12:44me 18 years in prison. I said it's not a problem. Even if they
00:12:48give me 100 more years for Islam, we didn't do anything
00:12:51to be ashamed of. Alhamdulillah, as long as we are alive, this path.
00:13:26First, they took me to the room where they had a visit.
00:13:29There were three or four of us.
00:13:32The window had also come. It was from us.
00:13:35Then, when they brought us to our
00:13:39family, they put chains and shackles on us.
00:13:42They put shackles on my feet.
00:13:45They brought us to our family. They took
00:13:49me to the room where my family was sitting.
00:13:53We saw that our family came. Ten people had come, my
00:13:56father and mother. They were from our
00:13:59house. They had brought my son and
00:14:03daughter. They were very young. When they
00:14:07first came in, they didn't recognize me because my
00:14:10hair was long. My cousin had
00:14:14come. I said, "Wait, my family won't see these shackles
00:14:17and things." I put my feet under the chair.
00:14:20My mother sat in front
00:14:23of me.
00:14:56They were in a very bad state. We had a
00:14:59half-hour visit after 13 or 14 months.
00:15:02They had half an hour for the visit.
00:15:06There was a soldier behind your head, a female
00:15:09soldier, and a male soldier sitting there.
00:15:13They had a half-hour visit. When the
00:15:16visit was over, they didn't say, for example,
00:15:19"These are Muslims, they are Islam."
00:15:22They had a merciful
00:15:25thing, an electric saw for the prisoner, and said, "Your
00:15:29visit is over. Get up." They didn't even allow
00:15:33us one second to sit and talk to our family.
00:15:36I said, "This is not our thing. You should get
00:15:40up and not cause us trouble, because foreigners are here,
00:15:42and they are watching."
00:15:46Our visit was over,
00:15:48and they left. They took us to the window.
00:15:52After a month, they said that we would have a
00:15:56visit through the Red Cross. They were allowed
00:16:00three people to visit.
00:16:03Five people from our family had
00:16:07come, my father and mother. They were my
00:16:10own family. My daughter and son had also come.
00:16:14Five people had come to Bagram prison. When they
00:16:18came to Bagram itself, we told them that the Red Cross
00:16:22only allows three people. Since you are
00:16:24five, you cannot all go in.
00:16:28So, my mother took my son and
00:16:31daughter. My father was allowed
00:16:34to go inside Bagram.
00:16:37He wasn't allowed. Then they
00:16:41came back from Bagram with a permit.
00:16:44Kabul. Then our backs were
00:16:48cut. My father and mother came to visit us.
00:16:51I asked, "Where is he?" They said he wasn't
00:16:54allowed. At the Bagram gate,
00:16:57they said he wasn't allowed. Well, my father's condition
00:17:01was very bad. Because at the time I
00:17:05was arrested, the night I
00:17:07was arrested, my brother named Shabir Ahmad was 21
00:17:11years old. They told me that the
00:17:15night they told me to kill myself, the
00:17:18night that same day they told me to kill
00:17:22myself, I said from behind the motorcycle, "Come,
00:17:26I said, go from behind." Because I need to sort
00:17:30out the issues and things so that my family doesn't
00:17:34have problems. This brother of ours was here when he separated
00:17:38from us. Our last meeting was here with this
00:17:41brother of ours, this martyr Shabir Rahmat.
00:17:45he left us. He got on a motorcycle and said, "Come
00:17:49after us, because there's a raid here." And he himself had
00:17:52participated in this war. He said, "Well, I fought
00:17:56him. Just be careful. Transfer him quickly." We said
00:17:59goodbye. Our last meeting was here when he
00:18:02left me.
00:18:05Then they raided me and I came.
00:18:37I saw myself, Shabir Ahmad.
00:18:41They said, "My brother." I saw
00:18:44him, so I should be the first. My voice
00:18:48was like, "Shabir is a martyr." I should be out first.
00:18:52When I went into the garden, there was a stretcher. My brother was very
00:18:56tall. His age was young,
00:18:59but he was very tall. When I entered the garden,
00:19:03I saw someone on a stretcher. His feet
00:19:06were half a meter
00:19:08off the stretcher.
00:19:11They put him on the
00:19:16stretcher. He was in a shroud.
00:19:19I saw that it was my brother Shabir. I
00:19:23woke up. In the morning, visitors came. My father asked, "Where is
00:19:27Shabir?" He said he's gone.
00:19:30And Shabir had been martyred about four or five
00:19:34months ago. He told them.
00:20:21Every day we see that districts and
00:20:24provinces are falling. He said they capture these posts every
00:20:27day. He said, "Don't worry. From our side,
00:20:31I'm also exercising here. I'm studying. Inshallah, we will
00:20:35be released soon."
00:20:37Well, when they left, my father and mother were also
00:20:41here, but we didn't see them. They went
00:20:43home. We went inside
00:20:47the window. After some time, we hadn't been transferred.
00:20:51When we were in the window, that was the
00:20:54day of victory for us. It was the last
00:20:58day of the government that failed. It was the
00:21:01last day that our people fled from the country.
00:21:05It was early in the morning when the soldiers
00:21:08came. I was walking inside the window.
00:21:11In the morning, we had a study circle. After
00:21:14everyone, when the adhan came, we stood up and had
00:21:18a study circle until 8 o'clock.
00:23:50It was broken. They were selling it.
00:23:52All the windows were plastic, which was good. We had
00:23:56five bowls, and 11 of us
00:23:59were eating from them. They brought our bread.
00:24:03We broke that window and went
00:24:07out. We went out into the block, inside
00:24:10the block. All the other blocks were also double
00:24:13and plastic. It was impossible to break
00:24:17them. But the prisoners finally brought the doors in some way.
00:24:50I had made contact. The small blocks had come out.
00:24:54They had shot and martyred several people.
00:24:57They told us not to go out until 2 o'clock.
00:25:01We waited from 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock. After
00:25:04that, the boys looted the things and armed themselves.
00:25:07They went out. The plane
00:25:11had also bombed, and about
00:25:1440 or 50 boys had been martyred there. All
00:25:18of them were Mujahideen boys. Well, we were very
00:25:21scattered there. All the boys, my
00:25:25cousin was there. A Mawlawi sahib from
00:25:28our area was there. Several others were there. Four or five
00:25:32of us gathered together and finally escaped from Bagram to the main
00:25:35road. I saw people
00:25:38coming.
00:25:40They gave me a phone and said, "Call
00:25:44your family. Everyone is saying that the
00:25:48whole prison has been bombed, and
00:25:50everyone has been martyred." Then we called our family
00:25:53and told them that we are alive and
00:25:56there is no problem. We are going home. Then
00:26:00we saw that there were no
00:27:02cars. There were also several fires. We came
00:27:06home. As we were going home,
00:27:09we arrived at our own caravanserai, next
00:27:12to the road.
00:27:15There was a road where I saw our own
00:27:18cemetery with flags flying. I asked
00:27:22my father, "Has someone from our area been martyred?
00:27:25Has any of our cousins been martyred? What
00:27:28are these white flags for? Has someone from us been martyred?"
00:27:32He said, "No, a girl was martyred. She was in a
00:27:36bandage. She had been shot from the roof and was
00:27:38martyred." He didn't mention any family
00:27:42member. I was unaware of these things because
00:27:46I didn't know anything. I came home
00:27:49unaware. When I came home, there were many guests.
00:27:53Many people from our tribe had gathered there. My
00:27:57father was standing at the door and had told them
00:28:01not to mention Shabir here.
00:28:32Let the people offer condolences. Shabir was martyred.
00:28:36شده
00:28:39When he said that, my condition got worse because
00:28:43I had also been in prison. My condition was very bad.
00:28:47When he said that, the whole
00:28:50area became dark. My eyes became
00:28:53dark. I said I didn't know anything about
00:28:57this big incident. He said, "Well, many other
00:29:00boys have been martyred,
