00:00:00is it who sees the people of there are criticisms government. But if and suggestions, Afghanistan in Bagram let us refer
00:00:03and them to the relevant authority, not to malicious domestic media and domestic failures. However, the Islamic Emirate, this is about the nation that I mentioned. The officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, our officials, are working day and night for the improvement of the country's situation, whether it is security, economy, employment, or culture, literature, and national unity. However, at the lower or middle levels, if there are any irregularities, if there are any criticisms, I hope that the authorities designated by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to hear criticisms and suggestions will listen to them carefully, especially regarding administrative corruption, because in the past, it was very common in Afghanistan. And God forbid, administrative corruption and national disunity should not emerge in the country. And wherever we see, for example, that there are people who are trying to sow discord between the nation and the government, or discord among our officials, God forbid, or that administrative corruption is reported somewhere, well, we hope that it will be dealt with very carefully, as in the past, and with seriousness, so that national disunity does not arise, and administrative corruption does not arise. And other matters, thank God, the ministries and legal authorities are in place, and the country is, thank God, moving forward satisfactorily. And the Islamic Emirate government of Afghanistan has truly progressed successfully so far, despite all the problems. And we are confident that, God willing, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will become stronger day by day with the support of the people, and development, prosperity, national unity, and glory, and the achievements of the nation of Afghanistan in jihad against the Soviets, in jihad against America, will be a great lesson for the world, that a nation with empty hands, against the latest technology of superpowers, fought jihad for religion and for independence, and was victorious, thank God. sees the media? We
00:00:06hope that his physical condition will be preserved
00:00:10as evidence of the crimes of the
00:00:13aggressors in Afghanistan and their servants, and those who had
00:00:17reached the administration of Kabul through them.
00:00:20Their crimes were no less than America's; in fact,
00:00:24they were more, because these were Afghans. Therefore, in such
00:00:27a place where you can see physical traces, you can infer
00:00:31what extent the psychological tortures were, that most
00:00:35of our friends and brothers were martyred there. We
00:00:38witnessed many, many martyrs through the windows before our
00:00:42eyes, and most of them were martyred due to
00:00:46psychological torture, and many
00:00:49of them became psychologically impaired and mentally
00:00:53impaired. And now, their families, society, and they
00:00:57themselves are suffering. In fact, one could say that they
00:01:00became living gods.
00:01:03We had few physically wounded in Bagram,
00:01:07but we had many intellectually and psychologically
00:01:11wounded and injured, both for families and for prisoners.
00:01:14From this point of view, since we were finally
00:01:18older than our friends there, we tried
00:01:22to alleviate their pain at appropriate times
00:01:25and try to reduce their suffering and listen
00:01:29to their stories. Therefore, we studied together,
00:01:33or taught, or studied, or saw that our younger
00:01:37friends and brothers were suffering from
00:01:40extraordinary psychological distress, and we tried
00:01:44to comfort them. For this reason, and for the
00:01:46long period that we were there, and during the
00:01:5010 years that we were there, these things became clear.
00:01:54Therefore, when someone says they were taken to Bagram,
00:01:57it means they were taken to the harshest and most
00:02:01brutal prison. With physical technology and psychological
00:02:04torment, from the moment a person is brought
00:02:07there, the insults begin.
00:02:11Firstly, by what means do they take
00:02:14them? The vehicle they use to take them, for example,
00:02:18they take a person in a car that
00:02:22has no view outside, no windows, nothing. They take
00:02:26them there with their eyes blindfolded and their ears plugged. Their feet...
00:02:36For several months, he would say, "We are in Tajikistan."
00:02:40We would say, "Brother, this is Afghanistan, this is Bagram."
00:02:43He would say, "No, the Americans took us from our tent
00:02:47in Helmand, saying you were with the Mujahideen."
00:02:50We didn't even know where the top or bottom
00:02:53of a gun was, or what was on this side
00:02:56of the gun, what a bullet was. He was an old
00:03:00man with a white beard, who had spent his life as a nomad
00:03:03and was living in a tent. He had two more children who
00:03:06didn't have mothers, and his children were left in the tent.
00:03:10From near Shorabak, for several months, he would say
00:03:14he was in Tajikistan. We would say, "Brother, this is not Tajikistan.
00:03:18How did they bring him here? How did they take him
00:03:21from Afghanistan? They told him they would take him to
00:03:24Tajikistan." He was an 80-year-old man with a white
00:03:28beard, and he hadn't taken
00:03:30anything. He had been tortured, and one of his children
00:03:33had become mentally disabled; his condition had deteriorated.
00:03:36He had become insane in prison, and another one was in the
00:03:40same condition. Such a horror! That a person brought from Helmand
00:03:44to Bagram thinks they are in Tajikistan. When
00:03:47they are put in a car and brought with such
00:03:50discomfort and with their eyes and
00:03:54ears covered, after they enter Bagram, one thinks
00:03:57that it's the end of life.
00:04:01I firmly believe that 90% of them, when
00:04:04they first get out of that car, into
00:04:07a car that has no windows and is like a graveyard,
00:04:11with their eyes and ears covered, they are brought
00:04:14by one, two, or three soldiers. Then
00:04:17they are brought into Bagram. Inside
00:04:19Bagram,
00:04:21surely, those conditions are incomprehensible for those
00:04:25who haven't seen them. Those who were prisoners in Bagram
00:04:29understand. When they first get out of the car,
00:04:33they put you in a wheelchair, and
00:04:36your eyes are covered, your ears are covered. You can't
00:04:39see or hear, and you have no right to ask questions,
00:04:43and no right to speak. And two people,
00:04:47as if they've caught a lion
00:04:51from the jungle, not a human, well, you are a human. Your
00:04:55feet are tied, your hands are tied with handcuffs,
00:04:58or right handcuffs. Your eyes are covered, your
00:05:02ears are covered. So what does this mean? You are
00:05:06in your own country, and it's like two half-savage
00:05:09American humans have caught you. Or
00:05:16with great insult and humiliation, they take
00:05:20you in a wheelchair from your shoulders. You
00:05:24don't know where you are going. After that, they suddenly
00:05:27take you out to a hangar. In that hangar, first
00:05:31of all, all your clothes, whether
00:05:34they are security clothes of that time or civilian
00:05:38clothes, all your clothes are taken off. And
00:05:41you are only allowed to keep one underwear
00:05:45and knickers. Then they take all of them.
00:05:48Whether you have something or not, all
00:05:52of it is thrown away. They take you to a small
00:05:55room. There is a cold water shower there.
00:05:59A cold water shower, you have to take
00:06:02a cold shower. You have to take a shower.
00:06:06Then after you come out of the shower,
00:06:10they give you clothes. Clothes that
00:06:13no one had ever seen or heard of in Afghanistan
00:06:17before, and after the Americans, they are still not there.
00:06:21They give you clothes that are tight and rough,
00:06:24and bothersome. Sometimes those clothes fit
00:06:28you, sometimes they don't. We had a friend there
00:06:31who was very tall and
00:06:34had a good build. The clothes didn't fit him, but
00:06:38he had to wear them. There was nothing else to do.
00:06:41Or the clothes would be very big. Anyway,
00:06:45they would give those clothes. After that, here
00:06:48there are examinations. And then they go to the cells.
00:06:52They give a number to each cell. When they give
00:06:55you a number, they tell you, for example,
00:06:58your number is
00:07:019076, or something like that. They
00:07:04tell you that after this, you no longer have a name.
00:07:08You are this number. If anyone calls you, it's by this
00:07:12number. You don't say your name, you don't talk.
00:07:16You are nothing here. You are
00:07:18just an entity. You are just a number.
00:07:22You are nothing else. So after
00:07:26that, with these circumstances, there are other
00:07:29humiliating stages. And from here, you get a number
00:07:33and are registered in the system. And then they take
00:07:37you out. They take you by car for
00:07:40a while. Then
00:08:12in reality, it's a place
00:08:15of horror, and a place of violence,
00:08:18and a place of inhumane treatment.
00:08:22Well, let's leave the story of what kind
00:08:25of place it is. They take you to a
00:08:29cage or a cell. The cells are physically
00:08:33visible to you. In this
00:08:36age of progress and technology,
00:08:39a human being should be in such a cage.
00:08:43And in this cage, there are 32, 33, or
00:08:4734 people. And each person, according
00:08:51to the division, has approximately 175
00:08:55to 185 centimeters of space. And
00:08:58sometimes they give them a sponge,
00:09:01and sometimes they don't give them a sponge.
00:09:05Again, they give them clothes, and those clothes
00:09:09are also inappropriate. So one piece of clothing.
00:09:12Then for prayer, for other purifications,
00:09:16other clothes are needed. Then it comes to our mind that there was a time
00:09:19when there was one extra
00:09:23piece of clothing for 8 people. And
00:09:27well, there was also repairing, sewing, and changing
00:09:31these things. And for a Muslim, when
00:09:34his prayer is missed, when he is obligated
00:09:38to perform ablution, and he has no means to do so, and he is a Mujahid.
00:09:56The people of Afghanistan have not seen it, except
00:10:00for the prisoners of Bagram and the guards who might
00:10:04be there now. No one has seen that there is
00:10:07a large hangar inside small three-person cells,
00:10:10and inside
00:10:13the cell, there is a division
00:10:16which means that whether they give
00:10:20each person a sponge or not, there is only
00:10:23175 cm by 185 cm of space. Not more
00:10:27than that, not less than that.
00:10:30And above their heads,
00:10:33there are very strong lights that are on
00:10:3724/7, they never turn
00:10:41off, day and night. And above
00:10:44their heads, they are constantly sitting on chairs,
00:10:47or patrolling, either foreigners
00:10:50or locals. In addition to that, there are
00:10:53cameras, and the cameras are watching
00:10:57every person. So one person is constantly
00:11:00under camera surveillance and under patrol surveillance,
00:11:04and their space is limited, and they
00:11:08have no right to speak. If they
00:11:11were allowed to speak, then it would be good
00:11:15if they could ask a guard or a prison
00:11:18official something, or if they were sick or had
00:11:22other needs. It's not for a day or a week
00:11:26or a year or two years; it's for years.
00:11:30How is the food situation? How is it in winter
00:11:33and summer when they go to the sun?
00:11:36And occasionally,
00:11:39as it happened, the water
00:11:43that was here, this group was here, this
00:11:46water, sometimes they would turn it off.
00:11:49There was a place for urination in each
00:11:53cell, because going outside was not possible.
00:11:56First the hangar, then the cells inside the hangar.
00:12:00So if they sometimes cut off the water,
00:12:04then what happens? Prayer is also here,
00:12:08and food is eaten here. Sleep and rest are also
00:12:11here. Your space is limited to this amount. And here,
00:12:14there are 85-year-old elders, and there
00:12:18are younger people, sick people, and healthy
00:12:22people. This is among the psychological sufferings,
00:12:26each part of which is truly difficult
00:12:29to describe for a person, and causes pain. And
00:12:33for friends, perhaps for listeners, it is
00:12:36incomprehensible, but for those who were prisoners
00:12:39there, it is understandable. So how can
00:12:42we give an example? The way they give
00:12:46food, the way they take them to court and bring
00:12:49them back, the way they take attendance, and
00:12:52the way they conduct brutal searches.
00:12:55This is one of the most inhumane
00:12:58practices. Daily or every
00:13:02few days, they would
00:13:05search all the cells. Everyone there has
00:13:08a sponge or a blanket, or some books
00:13:12or a Holy Quran. Well, they have been there
00:13:15for years. They come and take everything
00:13:19that the prisoners have in the big
00:13:23cell. The spaces are small and divided. Then they
00:13:26throw everything together, and it all becomes
00:13:30one. And then, repairing books, repairing clothes,
00:13:33needles and thread, and other things,
00:13:36they don't bring them. For this
00:13:39reason,
00:13:41unfortunately, the cells of Bagram, where
00:13:43they enter, and from
00:13:46there, from the entrance, they go to the
00:13:50shower or to the cell. And
00:13:54these miseries are constantly repeated.
00:13:57Searches are repeated, insults are repeated,
00:14:00harassment is repeated. And
00:14:04when they request medicine and treatment,
00:14:07they don't take them. There is a lot of shouting
00:14:11about being sick. If they take them, they give a few
00:14:15paracetamol. That's it. If they die or survive,
00:14:19there is no attention. And this human rights
00:14:22that was mentioned at that time or at this time,
00:14:25it was truly just a slogan, especially
00:14:28for the prisoners in Bagram.
00:14:32Unfortunately, everything was against human rights.
00:14:35And unfortunately, this
00:14:39lasted for years. And
00:14:41those who were partners with foreigners in the
00:14:44Kabul administration, they also, unfortunately,
00:14:48were partners in this crime, even though Sheikh
00:14:51Sahib has pardoned them. Even if there is a pardon,
00:14:55that suffering in the families of prisoners
00:14:59and in the minds of prisoners, that suffering will
00:15:03surely not be forgotten. And it is certainly
00:15:06tormenting. Our imprisonment,
00:15:09well, initially they said 16 years.
00:15:13After that, in prison, they said you cause
00:15:17a lot of unrest and commotion. And now, if we did
00:15:20anything there, it was according to our will
00:15:24and belief. Allah Almighty gave us spirit
00:15:27there, for example, to uphold
00:15:31our beliefs and our support for the Islamic
00:15:34Emirate and defense of the Islamic Emirate. There, whether
00:15:37it was in the hallway or in the cell, when there was shouting,
00:15:41when there was a strike, we would say, "You are wrong,
00:15:45you are oppressors, you are slaves, and the Islamic
00:15:49Emirate is right, and the Islamic Emirate will
00:15:52be victorious." This state of mind was unconscious.
00:15:56Thank God, they said, "You don't have a reduction,
00:15:59and finally, as long
00:16:02as this government exists, you will be here. This
00:16:06is your final graveyard." We were not alone. There
00:16:09were also some other brothers of ours who, in
00:16:13reality, we were nothing. They were great Mujahideen,
00:16:16and they were either condemned to martyrdom, or like us,
00:16:20it was said that if your sentence is 20 years
00:16:23or 30 years, we even had 70-year sentences. Well,
00:16:27you won't get out; you'll be here. This was
00:16:30a cruel decision that was made. And here
00:16:34I must say that I am surprised. It is
00:16:37truly strange that these infidels are so advanced
00:16:40in the training of animals and the training
00:16:43of humans with animal characteristics. These
00:16:47Americans, these people of Afghanistan,
00:16:50some of them, the officials
00:16:53and prison
00:16:55guards that we saw, they had trained them
00:16:59in such a way that they were like wild and predatory
00:17:03animals, far from you. While they were from our
00:17:06country, our people, their ancestors and fathers
00:17:10were Muslims. But it was strange that their savagery,
00:17:14their cruelty, their inhumane treatment,
00:17:17most of them, if any one of them was human,
00:17:21most of them had the animalistic behavior that
00:17:24the Americans had trained them to have, like a
00:17:28predatory animal, far from humanity, towards
00:17:31our compatriots who were under American supervision
00:17:35there. Later, they took over the patrolling
00:17:38themselves; only Americans were patrolling. And
00:17:42this was also a hardship for us, that a human
00:17:46being, someone from Muslim parents,
00:17:49and infidels, trains him in such a way,
00:17:53and against his own compatriot, worse than
00:17:57a wild animal. Well, being with such
00:18:01a cruel being, it is naturally
00:18:04very difficult. When you go for a visit,
00:18:08or to the clinic, or have other needs for years,
00:18:12when they took you for a visit, for
00:18:15example, there were no visits there initially.
00:18:19Most of the prisoners were in such conditions
00:18:23that they couldn't have visits, meaning there was
00:18:26no communication. And their families
00:18:29were far away, or they were so poor
00:18:33that they couldn't afford to come. Because coming
00:18:38to Bagram was not easy; it required
00:18:41many days and many stages to go through.
00:18:44And this was beyond the capability of a poor,
00:18:47simple family from a village. Therefore, we saw
00:18:51people who were truly witnesses, and
00:18:54they were crying. Whether they were old
00:18:57or young, for one year, two years, three years, five years,
00:19:01there was no communication whatsoever.
00:19:05And no phone visits or visits through
00:19:08glass were allowed. Other than through glass,
00:19:12there was nothing else. But those friends
00:19:15who were also prisoners there understand that
00:19:19when they are taken from the cell with their
00:19:22eyes and ears covered, and then brought to the
00:19:26visiting place, there are small rooms there.
00:19:29And there, they tie your feet, away
00:19:32from you, to the ground with chains that are
00:19:36attached to the ground or welded. They tie
00:19:39your feet to those chains. Well, they give
00:19:43you an earpiece. There is a glass there.
00:19:45One earpiece is for you, and another earpiece
00:19:48is for the visitor. And another earpiece
00:19:52is taken by the infidels or these domestic
00:19:54oppressors. There are cameras, and there
00:19:57are other restrictions and difficulties. Well,
00:20:01for a human, for a Muslim, for
00:20:05an Afghan, it is very difficult that
00:20:09after years, they can only
00:20:13briefly see their family, or their
00:20:16child, or their mother, or their
00:20:20spouse, for a few minutes. And an infidel
00:20:24also has an earpiece, openly, or
00:20:27one of their slaves also has the other
00:20:31earpiece. And if a word seems
00:20:34bad to them, or even if it's not
00:20:37a political word, if they want to
00:20:41harass you, they cut off your conversation
00:20:45and pull the curtain. There were curtains
00:20:47on those windows. They close the curtains.
00:20:50You saw for one minute. The sound
00:20:54either goes through the glass or it doesn't. So right
00:20:58there, your family, your child,
00:21:01your mother, your spouse, see you
00:21:05after years, in those clothes,
00:21:08with those tied feet and hands.
00:21:12What a state that puts them in!
00:21:15So this meeting that took place there,
00:21:19both for us and for others,
00:21:22was itself a psychological torment.
00:21:25Many friends didn't go, saying that
00:21:28such a meeting is not appropriate,
00:21:31it's just extra suffering. And
00:21:34many and all of them were out
00:21:38of touch with their families for years.
00:21:42And the meeting that took place after
00:21:45several years for us was also truly
00:21:49a psychological torment and torture.
00:21:52But in reality, it was
00:21:56democracy that America and its slaves
00:22:00were chanting about in Afghanistan.
00:22:03One thing happened that, fortunately,
00:22:07when the Doha negotiations started, day by
00:22:11day, the presence of foreigners decreased,
00:22:14their patrolling decreased, and the locals,
00:22:17those people who had some sense
00:22:21and understanding, slowly showed
00:22:24some leniency, or for example,
00:22:27when they came
00:22:30to the cell, you could ask them something,
00:22:34you could tell them a need.
00:22:37When some opportunity and leeway arose,
00:22:41the outdoor situation got a little better.
00:22:44For this reason, in the last year,
00:22:48books and lessons were provided better
00:22:51than before. So
00:22:55the friends gained some clarity that
00:22:59this government, so to speak,
00:23:02has become somewhat weaker and has no
00:23:06spirit. This hope increased
00:23:09for both those friends who were condemned to martyrdom
00:23:13and those who had long sentences.
00:23:17They became hopeful, until finally,
00:23:32God Almighty showed mercy through
00:23:36the prayers of the martyrs' families, through
00:23:39the prayers of the prisoners, through the prayers of the people
00:23:43of Afghanistan. The people of Afghanistan
00:23:47were unhappy with this oppression and
00:23:50this brutality of foreigners. Generally,
00:23:53with the prayers of the people, the elders,
00:23:57and the survivors, finally, victory
00:24:01came, victory was achieved, and
00:24:04all the prisoners, thank God, were
00:24:08released. And we were also released
00:24:11at the time of victory, thank
00:24:15God. And no one believed that we
00:24:19were released.
00:24:23Now we are out, and after 10
00:24:26years, these lights are off, the lights
00:24:30that were on 24/7 are off, and
00:24:34we are no longer in cages; we are outside. Friends
00:24:38felt it, and of course, during
00:24:41the time of liberation, some were martyred,
00:24:45and everyone else,
00:24:48thank God, was released
00:24:52at the time of victory. Before
00:24:55that, only a few people were
00:25:08released from Bagram. It was very difficult.
00:25:11Even if many had finished their sentences,
00:25:15they were still not released. Victory came, thank
00:25:18God. The people of Afghanistan
00:25:28were liberated from all over Afghanistan.
00:25:31We were also liberated. And for that reason,
00:25:35whenever friends sometimes say that income is
00:25:39low or there are no jobs, we say that
00:25:43the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan liberated
00:25:46the nation, it liberated us.
00:25:49Well, it is not necessary
00:25:52to expect anything else from the Islamic
00:25:55Emirate. The fact that it liberated
00:25:59us from the captivity of the infidels and
00:26:02from those iron cages is everything
00:26:06for us. And we are grateful to
00:26:09Allah Almighty, and we are truly grateful
00:26:13to the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. We
00:26:17are grateful to the officials who, in Doha and
00:26:20abroad, whether through jihad or negotiation,
00:26:24provided the grounds for victory and success,
00:26:27so that the nation of Afghanistan was liberated,
00:26:31the aggressors were defeated, and the
00:26:34Islamic government was established. We
00:26:38were also naturally liberated.
00:26:41One thing that is common
00:26:45among the people of Afghanistan is that
00:26:48a fish in the sea doesn't appreciate
00:26:52water. The nation of Afghanistan
00:26:56is now under the Islamic government.
00:27:00They have seen the Soviet invasion,
00:27:03they have seen the American invasion, but perhaps
00:27:07the youth have not felt it to
00:27:11that extent, the insecurity, the looting,
00:27:15the division of power, the islands of
00:27:18power, the bullying. And at that
00:27:21time, the youth might not have felt
00:27:25it. If they were 15 years old
00:27:28at the time of victory, they were
00:27:32children then. Now that they are 20
00:27:35years old, they might not understand.
00:27:39Our brothers, the youth.
00:27:42Our nation throughout Afghanistan
00:27:45and throughout the world, the reality
00:27:49is this: our age has passed.
00:27:52We don't have that much hope for life
00:27:55and expectation of privileges anymore.
00:27:59As an Afghan, as someone with a
00:28:02white beard, we have experienced the
00:28:06Soviet era, the Mujahideen era,
00:28:10the Islamic Emirate era, and we have
00:28:13seen the invasions. We advise you
00:28:17to appreciate the Islamic Emirate system.
00:28:20If there is any criticism, if there
00:28:23is any suggestion, refer it to the
00:28:26relevant authority, not to malicious domestic
00:28:30or foreign media. And if you can
00:28:34contribute to the development of the country
00:28:38in any way, whether you have
00:28:41expertise, capital, ideas, or plans,
00:28:45and to whatever extent, whether inside
00:28:48or outside, for the prosperity, development,
00:28:52and welfare of our country, let us all
00:28:55be united and work hard. Let us
00:28:58appreciate our government and maintain national
00:29:02unity throughout the country. Let us
00:29:06prioritize national interests over our
00:29:09personal interests. Let us be united
00:29:13like other nations and other countries
00:29:16around the world, and support our
