Usha Kulasegaran Thank you. 7. My hood was lifted and ice cubes were shoved into the hood and I was shoved onto the ground. I was then hit by a stick and kicked by the boots of the soldiers on both sides of my body. I could feel blood was flowing out of my wounds. After awhile, I could not feel anything due to the pain and the ice cubes on my head which made me feel numb. Salam Fanar Zabin and then Translator for Salam Fanar Zabin Yes. Confirms. Usha Kulasegaran Thank you. 8. I was taken back to my cell and my hood was removed, and I saw my chest hair was removed and I was bleeding profusely. I was hurt all over my body. The cell had no roof with a cement floor and a plastic covering and I felt very cold as the cold outside air was coming into the cell. I had no clothes on except my pants. I had no amenities in the cell. Salam Fanar Zabin and then Translator for Salam Fanar Zabin Yes. Confirms. Usha Kulasegaran Thank you. 9. I was not given food and was only given some water for the 3 days I was in my cell. I was repeatedly questioned about my personal background. I was also asked again where is Saddam Hussein and the weapons of mass destruction. A food bag was thrown in my cell everyday and before I could take the bag, the cell door would be opened and the bag would be removed. All the time, I was verbally abused.
