00:01:37and also in terms of psychological torture technology,
00:01:41for several months he would say we are Tajikistan,
00:01:44we would say, "Brother, this is Afghanistan, this is Bagram."
00:01:48He would say, "No, we are American." He was a poor Kuchi, he would say, "They took us from our tent in Helmand
00:01:52that you are with the Mujahideen."
00:02:31And from there we are, you and I were witnesses
00:02:35that our country and you, during
00:02:37the jihad against the Soviets, witnessed
00:02:41the jihad of the Afghan nation against the Soviets.
00:02:43And unfortunately,
00:02:47various parties and groups were formed,
00:02:51and the leaders of the parties, in
00:02:53the end, were not appreciative
00:02:57enough of the pure jihad of the Afghan people. And many
00:03:01civil wars were carried out by the parties during
00:03:05the first Emirate.
00:03:24unfortunately took place, and caused many
00:03:27losses and damages to you and I, and the honor and
00:03:31dignity of the jihad of the Afghan people against the Soviets.
00:03:34We witnessed at that time
00:03:37that
00:03:39the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, for the sake of national
00:03:42unity and for the sake of preserving the territorial integrity of the country,
00:03:46and for the sake of liberating the people
00:03:49from oppression
00:03:52and tyranny, civil wars
00:03:56were formed from Kandahar by.
00:05:00of Afghanistan was formed to solve the problems
00:05:04of civil wars. And in those
00:05:10You promised him, for You do not circumstances, those who are elders understand that throughout Afghanistan, and
00:05:13especially in Kabul, on every street and
00:05:17even in every alley, there was a need,
00:05:20if we can say, for a passport and a travel permit
00:05:24to go from a region, so to speak,
00:05:27under the control of one party to another. People had no security,
00:05:31and in the same way, tolls were taken,
00:05:34innocent people were killed,
00:05:36houses were destroyed, it was like that. And we had heard these things at that
00:05:40time, that the wars were raging fiercely,
00:05:44and Afghanistan was divided into different
00:05:47parts, under the control of different
00:05:49parties, and it did not look like a united country.
00:05:53And therefore,
00:05:56we heard that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was formed.
00:05:59Its goal and belief is the implementation of Sharia
00:06:03and national unity, and to free
00:06:06the people from
00:06:09the grasp of oppressors who, in the name of
00:06:12parties, have divided Afghanistan into sections
00:06:15and are extorting money.
00:08:34part that the history of our country
00:08:38suffered a catastrophe
00:08:41by
00:08:44the agents of those dissolved parties in
00:08:47the Bonn Conference and it became a prelude
00:08:50to the invasion of NATO led by America
00:08:53and its allies. In fact,
00:08:57in a way, it can be said that all the world, if not all the world,
00:09:00the great powers of the world,
00:09:03and this aggression took place.
00:09:06The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, in the first stage, if
00:09:10it had not been involved in war for 20 years, our country and nation
00:09:14would have made very, very significant progress
00:09:18by now. But when the aggression
00:09:21took place, not only many of
00:09:24our Mujahideen brothers
00:09:28faced many problems, became displaced,
00:09:31and some in neighboring countries and some inside
00:09:35villages, towns, and provinces
00:09:39became displaced. And it took a long time until they found
00:09:42another opportunity and became organized again. A time
00:09:46passed, and an opportunity was lost,
00:09:49and during this period, many loved ones and friends were
00:09:53martyred, wounded, and many of
00:09:56our elders were sent to Guantanamo prison
00:09:59by the invaders, both inside the country and in
00:10:03neighboring countries.
00:11:50The republican government was pursuing based on
00:11:53records.
00:11:55We were arrested in Kabul while
00:11:59we were walking on the street with a few friends, in such a way that
00:12:02they were younger and further away from us.
00:15:46we should do this for some work in one of the camps
00:15:49that was in the north. Now, if
00:15:53necessary, we will also give its exact name and specifications.
00:15:56Then, they have left Afghanistan. If it is translated,
00:15:59they should not be afraid that it was
00:16:22the market, someone
00:16:24from security comes. A
00:16:27number of people come.
00:16:30And of course, the day before, around where we were in Kabul,
00:16:34the movement of foreigners increased. Several
00:16:38tanks came, and several foreigners came and went this way
00:16:42and that way. Well, we didn't
00:16:45pay attention. And the next day, when we leave the place and go
00:16:48to the market, we go to a shop to price essential items,
00:16:52then we leave. Two people grab
00:16:56us, and of course, in the usual way,
00:16:59our
00:17:02eyes are blindfolded, and they throw us into a car
00:17:05and take us away. They take us to an unknown
00:17:09place, where for about a week,
00:17:12we were in an unknown place, in a small
00:17:16room, a single person in that place,
00:17:20so to speak, there was no opening to the outside,
00:17:23no ventilation, and
00:17:26almost life there
00:17:30was naturally difficult, and they take us there, and from
00:17:33there, at night, at one or two o'clock,
00:17:38or any time at night, they come slowly, and there
00:17:42is torture and, so to speak, harassment
00:17:45and investigation. We are one person, and
00:17:48the interrogators are two or three or four people.
00:17:52Each one slaps in turn, and each one asks questions in turn,
00:17:56and each one insults and
00:17:59humiliates in turn. And finally, we were in such a place for a week,
00:18:03we didn't know where that place was. There were both foreigners
00:18:07and Afghans. After a
00:18:10week, they took us to the directorate again, to a place.
00:18:13Well, at that time we didn't know where it was. Later we found out it was Directorate 40.
00:18:17So, again, of course,
00:18:21our eyes and ears and everything were covered, and
00:18:25they threw us into a car and brought us to
00:18:28another place called Directorate 40. They took us there, and
00:18:31there, in small rooms, the friends who were
00:18:35prisoners at that time understand. 12
00:18:38people, wounded, sick, old,
00:18:41young, in a small cell that they threw them into,
00:18:45that was the place to sit, and there was no place to
00:18:48rest either. And many times, friends had illnesses,
00:18:51were wounded, needed to relieve themselves, and they were not
00:18:55given the opportunity or permission to go outside to relieve
00:18:58themselves. Unfortunately, it was like that. Well, it was the same way.
00:19:01One by one, they were taken for interrogation and tortured.
00:19:05Most of the time, when they brought
00:19:07the friends back from interrogation, they couldn't
00:19:11walk on their own. And then three or
00:19:14four soldiers would bring them back
00:19:18in the middle of the night, or
00:19:21towards morning, or any other time,
00:19:24and throw them to the other friends, who were thirsty,
00:19:28hungry, wounded, tortured. What did they need?
00:19:31Unfortunately, it was a barbaric situation. There was no
00:19:34attention. In the same way, the Directorate
00:19:3840 also passed for several
00:19:41months, where sometimes a foreigner would interrogate, and sometimes a local would come
00:19:45and, so to speak,
00:19:48would pursue the same friendship, and whatever they wanted,
00:19:51the friends had to say that thing. But
00:19:55praise be to Allah, we witnessed that we were perhaps
00:19:59weak people, but the Mujahideen friends were motivated,
00:20:02strong. They did not accept what they were told,
00:20:05and sometimes they were wounded, sometimes
00:20:09martyred, sometimes unconscious, tortured,
00:20:12they were willing to endure anything. But what
00:20:15security, the occupiers
00:20:19demanded, to get a confession or to point to other friends,
00:20:22that was not possible. As
00:20:26praise be to Allah, we also did not betray the friends who were with us,
00:20:29and we had no such friendship. And until the end, they would
00:20:33say their piece, and we would say our piece. This story that I am now
00:20:37telling you, that there was a story about a camp program, we are telling
00:20:40that now. At that time, we told those people that we are poor
00:20:44here. They say, "These people who come to you, they are like this,
00:20:47these kinds of people come, they are cameras. They don't look poor,
00:20:51and they look like Taliban, and what happens?" We said, "This is
00:20:54Afghanistan, everyone has different clothes, has a beard, has a face and
00:20:58character, and this doesn't mean that they are someone or something or
00:21:01Mujahideen." In short, praise be to Allah, they
00:21:05resisted well, and they encouraged each other, saying, "This friend resisted
00:21:09so much, he didn't betray another friend, why should
00:21:12we betray them like this?" So most
00:21:16of the friends would engage in remembrance, recitation, and these
00:21:18things. And of course, there was no place for recitation,
00:21:22no place for worship, no place for prayer in a normal way in those
00:21:26cells, whether it was a single person or those 10-12
00:21:29people, it was all terrifying and a confined
00:21:33and insecure place. Of course, and especially since
00:21:36everyone was wounded, worried, and
00:21:40suffering from problems. Well, there was no communication or news
00:21:43to the outside about where someone was. No one knew
00:21:47the relatives of where someone was. In the same way, arrests
00:22:01I must explain this. You also know that America claims
00:22:05democracy and human rights, but the most brutal
00:22:09prisons in the world are by America,
00:22:12like the prison on Kamchatka Island, which is now
00:22:16dissolved, apparently, like Guantanamo prison.
00:22:20Like Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, Abu Ghraib, which you and I
00:22:24have also seen its documentation in Iraq, like
00:22:28the prisons in Israel, those prisons are also based on American
00:22:31technology, and the private prisons that were
00:22:34in Afghanistan, such as those in Helmand
00:22:38and Logar, in some places in Wazir Akbar Khan and
00:22:41others. Foreigners had private prisons, it was a money-making scheme.
00:22:45Besides that, Bagram
00:22:47prison is one of the most terrifying
00:22:51prisons in human history, which was established
00:22:54by America in Afghanistan. Their largest prison in
00:22:57Afghanistan, their largest base in Afghanistan,
00:23:01and when a country like
00:23:04America, with such anti-human
00:23:07technology, has registered the most terrifying prisons in
00:23:11the world so far, naturally in
00:23:14Afghanistan, where they had entered with utmost
00:23:18brutality.
00:23:20And they had seen the ultimate defeat,
00:23:23bitterness, and the jihad of the Afghan people against
00:23:27them. They had also created
00:23:30the worst and most brutal prison, which was also the largest,
00:23:33in Bagram. Now it is possible for you, as
00:23:37media, to go and see its traces. But these are physical
00:23:41traces. Physical traces are not as effective on humans
00:23:44as psychological traces are effective. Psychological tortures
00:23:48are effective. That is, both physically, Bagram prison is one of the most
00:23:52terrifying prisons in the history of mankind and the world, because
00:23:55America is the founder of terrifying prisons in the world,
00:23:59and also in terms of the technology of psychological torture.
00:24:02What is seen now, that is
00:24:05in terms of
00:24:07physical facilities, which the people of Afghanistan see in Bagram
00:24:11and the media see. We hope
00:24:15that that physical condition will be preserved as
00:24:18evidence of the crime of the invaders
00:24:22in Afghanistan and their slaves and those who reached
00:24:25the administration of Kabul by them in Afghanistan.
00:24:29Their crimes were no less than those of the Americans, but rather more, because these were
00:24:32Afghans. Therefore, in such a place where you can see its physical
00:24:36effects, you can infer that the psychological effects and tortures
00:24:40were to what extent, that most of our friends and
00:24:44brothers either became martyrs there, we witnessed in
00:24:47the windows before our eyes many
00:24:53died psychologically, and
00:24:56many of them became psychologically disabled, mentally disabled,
00:25:00and now in society, their families,
00:25:04society, and they themselves are suffering. In fact, it can be said
00:25:08that they are living martyrs. And
00:25:12we had few physical injuries in Bagram,
00:25:16but mental and psychological injuries, both for the family...
00:25:24Because of this, since we were there, after all, with
00:25:26our friends, we were a bit older, we tried
00:25:30to comfort them at appropriate times
00:25:34and try to lessen their suffering and listen
00:25:38to their stories. For that reason, we study
00:25:42together or teach or study, or we see
00:25:45that our younger friends and brothers are suffering
00:25:49from extraordinary psychological distress and we try to
00:25:52comfort them. For that reason, during the long period
00:25:56that we were there, and during the 10 years that we were there, these
00:25:59things became clear. Therefore, when someone
00:26:09is in the harshest and most brutal prison with physical technology and psychological
00:26:12suffering, from the moment they are brought
00:26:15there, humiliation begins.
00:26:19Firstly, by what means are they taken?
00:26:23By the means by which they are taken for example, one person
00:26:27is taken in a car that
00:26:31does not have any view to the outside.
00:26:44For several months, he would say, "We are Tajikistan." We would
00:26:48say, "Brother, this is Afghanistan, this is Bagram." He would say, "No, we
00:26:51were American." He was a poor Kuchi. He said, "They took us from our tent in
00:26:55Helmand, that you are with the Mujahideen. Udeude
00:26:58Waraka, we didn't understand guns, like the stock
00:27:02of the gun, where the gun is, and what is on this side of the gun, what is a bullet?
00:27:06He was an old man who had spent his life as a nomad, in a tent.
00:27:10They had taken him with two other children. He had no one else.
00:27:14His property, his children, were left in the tent, from
00:27:17near Shorabak. He would say for several months that we are from Tajikistan.
00:27:21We would say, "Brother, this is not Tajikistan, how did they bring you, how did they take
00:27:25you, that this is the land of Afghanistan?" When they were bringing him, they said, "We are taking
00:27:29you to Tajikistan." He was an old man,
00:27:3280 years old, and they hadn't taken anything from him, and he had been tortured,
00:27:36and one of his children had become mentally disabled. His
00:27:40condition had deteriorated, he had become insane
00:27:43in prison, and another one was in the same condition. This kind of horror,
00:27:47meaning someone doesn't understand, they brought him from Helmand to Bagram, he thinks he's in
00:27:50Tajikistan. When they put him in
00:27:54a car and bring him, to this extent,
00:27:57so to speak, discomfort and
00:28:01blindfolding and ear-covering. After entering Bagram,
00:28:04one feels that it's the end of life, there is no
00:28:08life anymore. Now, I certainly believe that 90 percent
00:28:12of them, when they first get out of that car, in a
00:28:15car that has no windows and is like a
00:28:19graveyard, blindfolded, they bring them in, and there is one or two
00:28:23or three soldiers with them. Well, they bring
00:28:26them there, inside Bagram, they put them inside
00:28:28Bagram. Certainly, now those conditions
00:28:32are incomprehensible for those who haven't seen it. Those who were prisoners
00:28:36in Bagram understand. When they first take you out of the car,
00:28:40they, so to speak, put you in a wheelchair,
00:28:43and your hands are bound, your eyes are also covered, your ears
00:28:46are also covered. You don't see, you don't hear, and you don't have the right to ask
00:28:50questions, and you don't have the right to speak, and two
00:28:53people take you as if
00:28:56they have captured a wild animal, not a human being.
00:28:59Well, you are a human being, your feet are also
00:29:12understood to be in your own country, it's like they have caught a
00:29:15lion, two half-savage American
00:29:19people or their domestic slaves, and one from
00:29:22the left and one from the right take you with great
00:29:26insult and humiliation from your shoulders, and this
00:29:30wheelchair takes you. You don't know where you are going. After
00:29:33this, they suddenly take you out into a hangar. In that
00:29:37hangar, first all your clothes, whether
00:29:41they are security clothes of that time
00:29:45or civilian clothes, you take off all your clothes,
00:29:48and excuse me, if only your underwear
00:29:51and shorts remain, and there, they
00:29:55throw away everything you have or don't have.
00:29:59All of this is thrown away. Then
00:30:03in a small room, there is something here, there is a cold water shower
00:30:07here. In this cold water shower, this cold water
00:30:10shower, you are forced to take a shower.
00:30:13Well, after you shower and come
00:30:17out, they give you a
00:30:20piece of clothing, clothing that no one in Afghanistan had seen
00:30:24or heard of until now. And after this, there is no American clothing anymore.
00:30:28They give you that clothing that is tight and
00:30:31rough. It is irritating.
00:30:35Sometimes it doesn't fit your stomach. We had some
00:30:39friends there who were very
00:30:41tall and had a strong physique. The clothes wouldn't
00:30:45fit them. They had to wear them. There was nothing else to do.
00:30:49Or the clothes fit them.
