quote=] Sen reported that female interrogators sexually abused him and desecrated the Koran, and that guards beat him with iron bars, and allowed him to be mauled by dogs, when he was in the Kandahar detention facility. He reported that camp authorities would amputate wounded limbs rather than trying to provide less radical medical care.

Sen reported being left for days in what he called "the insanity room", where captives were subjected to loud noise.

Sen also claimed that most GIs in Guantanamo were jewish, and wore skullcaps, and that a Rabbi was present during each interrogation.

A Turkish columnist, Asli Aydintasbas, criticized Sen for the "crude antisemitism" he showed in his interview.

Sen and several other former captives are suing several current and former US officials for the inhumane and illegal conditions of their detention.cite news
