(Agencies)
Updated: 2008-07-15 20:35 At one point in the interrogation, Khadr pulls off his orange prisoner shirt and shows the wounds he sustained in the firefight. He complains he can't move his arms and says he had requested, but hadn't received, proper medical attention. "They look like they're healing well to me," the agent says of the injuries. "No, I'm not. You're not here (at Guantanamo)," Khadr says. The agent later accuses Khadr of using his injuries and emotional state to avoid the interrogation. "No, you don't care about me," Khadr says. Khadr also tells his interrogator that he was tortured while at the US military detention center at the Bagram air base in Afghanistan, where he was first detained after his arrest in 2002. Later on in the tape, a distraught Khadr is seen rocking, his face in his hands. "Help me," he sobs repeatedly in despair. On the final day, the agent tells Khadr that he was "very disappointed" in how Khadr had behaved, and tries to impress upon him that he should cooperate. Khadr says he wants to go back to Canada. "There's not anything I can do about that," the agent says. The video is believed to be the first footage shown of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service in action during its 24-year history, offering an unprecedented glimpse into its interrogation strategies. |
