Presiding Officer: How do you feel about that?

Detainee (through translator): I have bad feelings about it. I was very sad about the situation,

Presiding Officer: I think I know something about how you feel because I have had a very close family member who committed suicide also. I know how hard that is and I am sorry for the loss of your friend.

Detainee (through translator): My feelings about the situation are quite difficult.

Presiding Officer: Do you think the Koran permits suicide?

Detainee (through translator): No.

Presiding Officer: I saw in the notes that you do not like the medical treatment here.

Detainee (through translator): A lot of mistakes were made.

Presiding Officer: Like what?

Detainee (through translator): The doctors are usually very late. I usually wait a long time before I see the doctor.

Presiding Officer: So do I. In the Camp, there is one medical person for every five detainees. In the town where I lived, there is one doctor for every 28 people.

Detainee (through translator): There are five hundred detainees here. If America is so powerful and has all types of technologies, it should be able to medically cover five hundred people.

Presiding Officer: Is there any treatment that you need right now that is not being attended?

Detainee (through translator): I have given up. It is almost impossible to receive treatment.

Presiding Officer: Do your wounds bother you? Detainee (through translator): What wounds?

Presiding Officer: You were shot by that Uzbek soldier.
