Former detainee makes abuse claims

Tarek Dergoul, 26, a former care worker from east London, said he was forced to look at pornographic magazines and subjected to “very loud” American music during interrogations at the American base.

He alleged that American officials threatened he would be sent to Morocco or Egypt to be tortured, and that he suffered repeated strip searches and sleep deprivation. During cell searches by the guards wearing riot gear “poked their fingers in my eyes, banged my head on the floor and kicked and punched me and tied me up like a beast... they often forced my head into the toilet.”
