Toilet

I had to urinate in a bottle and empty it once a day, when I went for defecation. Defecation was a torture
itself, as a man would stand nearby and shout:
“Hurry up, you only have 40 seconds.” Then he would shout, “hurry up, your time is almost finished,”
and finally he would come and say “come out, your time is finished.”
Often, one had to come out without washing up.

Every midnight we were woken up for a search by a higher authority. They would ask us about our
health and how we felt, however, it had nothing to do with their behavior towards us. The officer in charge of
this procedure, who was accompanied by at least three or four men, used to chat with every prisoner for four
or five minutes. During this, we were told to face the wall and were not allowed to look at him. We were also
told that if in case we caught a glimpse of him, it would become impossible for us to leave the prison alive.
When this officer would talk to other prisoners, I would try to come as close to the door as possible, so
that I could hear their conversations. By doing so, I could tell what was happening with Allah Nazar, and how
he was feeling. Also, it gave me a chance to know something about the other prisoners.
This helped me realize that Allah Nazar was being subjected to a more severe form of torture than
myself. I also found out that he was sick, as he would ask for medicine, but was constantly refused. During this
search, I also came to know that the other prisoners were Islamic militants.

Once I heard one of the prisoners saying:
“Sir! It is my fifth month here, and I have been interrogated for weeks. Why am I not being released?”
He was answered:
“We have faxed your case to Islamabad, and we will decide what to do with you as soon as we get a
reply from there.”
Another prisoner had been there for more than 9 months.
