Description

According to Amnesty International: "Saleh Bukar (not his real name), told Amnesty International that after he had been detained for three months in Sector Alpha and Presidential Lodge in 2013, the military subjected the detainees to a screening process: “They brought us out and assembled about 20 of us. They paraded all of us one after the other in front of screeners behind a mask. The screeners’ faces were covered. Two of them were standing in the detention compound. They shook their head when I was brought to them. The commander asked them to look properly, but they shook their head and I was taken back into my cell”. Three days later he was released." [+]
