Murders, harassment, lack of medical care, psychological and physical torture, are part of the working day of a guerrilla of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), in any Colombian prison, according to "Diego," an insurgent imprisoned at the high-security prison of Giron, in Santander department, northeast of the South American country.
A guerrilla of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) whom they call "Diego," read two communiqués for a telephone interview granted to Radio Basque "Desalambrar," which denounced the psychological and physical torture, malnutrition and disease hundreds of fighters detained in maximum security prisons suffer daily .
"The physical and psychological tortures are daily. Chaining hands and feet, clubs and gas," says an inmate of the high-security prison of Giron, in Santander department, northeast of the country.
The rebel tells that the security guards have even come to kill his companions and make it happen in many cases by drug overdose or hanging.
There are "murders of some of his companions who are hung, murdered by drug overdose, when this type of medicine has never been consumed internally," he reports.
Nocturnal diseases and "pleas" of lack of specialized medical attention abound in the "dungeon," as he calls it, with them made to drink water filled with feces.
"It's quite normal to find companions with severe intestinal problems and incurable illnesses, such as chronic diarrhea, particularly because they have made us consume water with fecal matter on several occasions," explains the guerrilla while he reads one of two releases on the "subhuman" situation in which they live "against their will."
Prisoner medical emergencies, if they are at night, are not heard or listened to until sunrise and usually are treated with medications that cause serious complications, expresses "Diego."
"It is very common to look at companions as they are thrown like dogs in punishment cages and they exist in a prisoner health area begging to be attended by a doctor, who after several hours offers the usual miracle pill: Diclofenac and Ibuprofen, generic," he explains.
"Here there is no medical service 24 hours a day, or specialized service. Falling ill is a physical and psychological torture (...). A flu or a harmless cough, later becomes in a terminal illness (. ..) all this for lack of timely and efficient medical care," he adds.
In order to be moved to areas within the prison, guards were tied to the prisoners.
