Jabar told the "New York Times" that he saw Dilawar experiencing difficulty, and counseled him not to struggle, that it was routine for captives to be isolated, shackled, and deprived of sleep for their first two weeks in captivity, but, if he could survive that, he would then be transferred to communal cells where he would be allowed to sit down.

Jabar told the "New York Times" that approximately 100 captives were held in the communal cells.
