Terror suspect was offered prostitute
By Michelle Nichols
CANBERRA (Reuters) - An Australian terror suspect was offered the
services of a prostitute by the U.S. military if he agreed to spy
on other detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba,
according to court documents.
In an affidavit unsealed by a U.S. District Court and seen by
Reuters on Friday, David Hicks, a 29-year-old convert to Islam,
said he was also beaten while blindfolded and handcuffed,
threatened with weapons and had his head rammed into asphalt.
Hicks was arrested in Afghanistan in late 2001 and was among the
first small group of Guantanamo Bay detainees to be charged. He has
pleaded not guilty to aiding the enemy, attempted murder and
conspiracy to commit war crimes.
"Interrogators once offered me the services of a prostitute for 15
minutes if I would spy on other detainees. I refused," Hicks said
in the affidavit, which is dated August 5 and witnessed by his U.S.
military lawyer Major Michael Mori.
Hicks said he was deprived of showers, sufficient food, access to
regular reading material and other social contact, including mail,
because he failed to cooperate.
"I have been beaten while blindfolded and handcuffed ... At one
point, a group of detainees, including myself, were subjected to
being randomly hit over an eight-hour session while handcuffed and
blindfolded," Hicks said.
"I have had my head rammed into asphalt several times (while
blindfolded) ... I have been forced to run in leg shackles that
regularly ripped the skin off my ankles," he said.
The United States has denied allegations of prisoner abuse at the
base and the State Department has said it believes detainees were
treated humanely.
Hicks is one of more than 550 prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay,
most of whom were captured during the war against al Qaeda and the
Taliban government in Afghanistan in late 2001 and early
2002.
Mori told Reuters in an interview earlier this month that, through
his own investigations, he had been able to corroborate claims by
Hicks that he had been physically abused.
Australia's government has previously raised with the United States
the issue of how Hicks and a second Australian, Mamdouh Habib, were
being treated and said that an initial inquiry found they had not
been abused.
Egyptian-born Habib, a father of four, was arrested crossing from
Pakistan into Afghanistan three weeks after the September 11, 2001,
airliner attacks on the United States. He has been named as part of
a second group of detainees who will be charged.
