For seven years Mohmoud Ramadan languished in Khiam Prison – three of them in solitary confinement in a small windowless cell. He was tortured with electric shocks throughout his detention. When he tried to escape his arm was blown off in the minefields surrounding the prison. Today, two years after his release he spends most of his time in and out of a psychiatric hospital. His psychotherapist Dr Hafez keeps a close record of Khiam’s broken men. “80% of prisoners from Khiam have psychological problems. They try there to destroy the psychological make-up of the human being.” Disturbing pictures from the only journalist ever to enter Khiam bore witness to the brutal treatment.
