Script in English
MVO1:14 years had I, not but a wee lad, when into custody I was taken. To a dungeon they carried me wherein I was suspended, hanging by my hands for more than half the day long for over fourteen nights. From my shackles they unbound me, merely to take my meagre day’s ration. “Why hast thou detained me, sire?” I queried. But no reply did they proffer me. As the days past, a consort of sentries bound my hands, gave me lashings, took me to a far off land. There they abused me more and then threatened to sever off my penis. Transported me they did, to Guantanamo, where again they suspended me holding candles to my head, thus hindering me
from any rest. With tobacco they burned me, and isolated me to a lowly cell as ‘twere my only place of rest and thus I remained – I still know not why.

ANN:Torture is a practice from another day and age. Mohammed C. has been in the custody of the US government for 5 years and he still hasn’t been charged with a single crime. Help us shut down Guantánamo. Amnesty International
Script in Orginal Language
MVO1:De mochacho a la edad de 14 detuviéronme. A prisión lleváronme donde de manos, alguaciles suspendiéronme durante más de media jornada a lo largo de 3 semanas, siempre con la testa cubierta. Mas sólo para un magro almuerzo era liberado. Venidos los días, alguaciles americanos custodiáronme y esposado pegáronme, luego lleváronme en avión un grande trecho, pegáronme más y dijeronme que mi pene cercenado sería. Después trasladaronme a Guantánamo. Allí de manos volvieronme a colgar, mas agora impidióronme dormir por candiles enchufados hacia mi testa. Quemáronme con tabaco y en una celda como único lecho recluyéronme, ansi estoy yo… aún no sé por qué.

ANN:La tortura es una práctica de otra época. Mohammed C. Lleva 5 años detenido por el gobierno de los EE.UU, aún no está acusado de ningún delito. Ayúdanos a cerrar Guantánamo Amnistía Internacional.
