NPR = Immigrants who were detained at the naval base in Guantánamo Bay say they experienced beatings, mistreatment and constant frisks. They allege this happened during their two weeks at the location earlier this month.
NPR’s Sergio Martínez-Beltrán spoke with two of the men, both
21 years old, who were at the naval base and are now back in Venezuela.
Mayfreed Durán Arapé and Yoiner Purroy Roldán said detainees held a five-day hunger strike
after they were told they were not allowed to call an attorney. Durán
Arapé says soldiers showed up in riot gear. They beat him up and pinned
him to the ground. He alleges that he was also tied to a chair 15 times,
and things got so bad he tried to die by suicide twice.
