Six days before Dilawar’s murder, a man named Habibullah was also killed as a result of the US forces’ savage torture. But the US government awarded her a Bronze Star for ‘exceptional meritorious service’ and she was sent to Abu Ghraib on a new assignment! She is still said to be an instructor on torture methods in one of America’s military intelligence centers. Dilawar, Habibullah and tens of others were killed under her murderous torture. “Dilawar’s leg was pummeled so badly that the tissue was falling apart and had basically been pulpified… Torture marks could be seen all over his body… I’ve seen similar injuries in an individual run over by a bus.”Ĭarolyn Wood was a torturer and head of military intelligence interrogators at Bagram.

Dilawar was a farmer and taxi driver from the eastern Khost province. One of the shocking crimes in Bagram prison that also caused an uproar was the death of Dilawar Yaqoubi. Mohammad said at the end, “Guantanamo is a paradise if you compare it with Bagram.” In an interview with (December 15, 2014), Mohammad, an Afghan interpreter in Bagram Airbase stated, “Todenhoefer’s account of dogs being used to rape prisoners in the jail is absolutely realistic.” He continued, “When I translated for them, I often knew that the detainee was anything but a terrorist.”

Female political prisoners gave accounts of how Americans released dogs on them to rape them and break their morale. After the US-backed coup by Pinochet in Chile in 1973, many supporters of Salvador Allende’s democratic government were arrested. Jack tells the writer that he could not tolerate to see all this brutality by the Americans against innocent Afghans and left his duty.Īmerican torturers are not the first ones to have used dogs to obtain confessions. The government does this to earn points with its ‘angry brothers’. The Afghan government has always stressed on the release of commanders and important figures of the Taliban from Bagram, not innocent Afghans. There are no accurate statistics available of the number of prisoners in Bagram prison, but by an estimate there are more than 600 prisoners there and most of them are poor and innocent Afghans. Most Afghan arrested only for physically looking like Taliban. With such methods US forces abuse and humiliate Afghans to break their morale. They would have even said that they killed Kennedy without even knowing who he was.” After procedure like these, they confessed everything.
