"UDAY SADDAM HUSSEIN came to the prison...UDAY began swearing and threatening us even worse than ALI HASSAN AL-MAJID had done...He said to a group of Saddam Fedayeen troops..."Take these two people and make them an example to the others - take them to the acid bath to meet their fate and their death." They were taken away in handcuffs...The prisoners were terrified and angry. UDAY spat on some of the prisoners and then left."

"UDAY...became very agitated. He ordered his servant...to bring an electric shock baton...He struck me on the shoulder with it and then began to jab me all over my body. Each time he did this a painful electric shock was applied."

"I became aware that UDAY SADDAM HUSSEIN had arrived...He began shouting insults at me as they were beating me. I felt my knees buckle and tried to make myself smaller to avoid the blows...He said to me something like "I am going to brand you like an army mule so that you do not forget". He then took a branding iron, the end of which was shaped as a circle with a cross in the middle...he branded me on the top of my left arm. At that point I believe I lost consciousness. The next morning I woke up in what seemed to be a dog kennel. I was in extraordinary pain both from the beating...and also from the branding wound. I discovered that there were two further brands on my back. All these had developed enormous blisters. My hands had been handcuffed behind one of my legs, which also caused me great discomfort. A short time later I was injected with an unidentified substance...a blood analysis confirmed I had been poisoned with a heavy metal substance."
