The former media spokesman for the so-called "Benghazi Revolutionary Brigades", Ahmed Al-Jazwi, revealed that he was subjected to the most severe types of torture inside Qarnada Prison "Sednaya #Libya" affiliated with the American Khalifa Haftar, during his detention since November 2014, until his release in a prisoner exchange deal in 2015.

Al-Jazwi explained, in an interview with the Qatari channel "Al-Jazeera Mubasher", that what happened cannot be forgotten even if decades pass and he will get his right no matter what happens.

Al-Jazwi narrated the details of what he was subjected to, saying, "I was arrested from my home because of a statement we issued demanding the disclosure of crimes and the cessation of bombing and assassinations in #Benghazi, and because of my publications and articles on social media pages and my revolutionary positions."

 He continued by saying, "From the first day of my arrest, I was severely beaten, and placed in a small, isolated solitary cell. The beating was so horrific that it broke my nose and injured my body and head. I was left in a cell without a mattress on the floor." 

He continued, "This is one of the harshest experiences I have faced in my life, especially since I was deprived of the ability to relieve myself. Our daily meal was a bottle of water, a small loaf of bread, and two triangles of cheese. If we got this meal, we would not get any food or water the next day." 

He continued, "They did not allow us to relieve ourselves or use the bathroom for more than 10 days. We were forced to relieve ourselves in bags." 

He touched on his narrow escape from death on one occasion, saying, "I narrowly escaped death on one occasion, as some of them came and beat the prisoners in revenge. They were looking for me specifically, then they entered the cell next to me, and they prepared the person who was in it, thinking that it was me by mistake." 

 He added, "One day, members of the 21st Martyrs of Zawiya Battalion, which controlled the prison at the time, came and took us out to the yard and held a torture party on us. One of them was smoking a hookah, enjoying our screams and torturing us by kicking, slapping and rolling us on the glass." 

Regarding the torture methods used against them, Al-Jazwi said, "They used iron cables to lift the containers in order to torture us with them. They would put iron on the feet and hang the person from it like a sheep." 

He added, "There was also a young deaf man at work next to me. He was subjected to severe torture that he could not bear, so he hanged himself in the cell." 

He concluded by saying, "We hope that one day justice will be achieved. We will never forget the beatings and humiliation we were subjected to. We will get our rights one day. I was not liquidated from the first day because they knew that I had value and that they could exchange me one day."
