Detainee claims that "while at an unknown location he received no food or water and could not sleep due to very loud American music blaring the entire time. He was placed in a crate about four feet high that required him to sit on the floor with his knees to his chest. He stated he was tied and blindfolded the entire time." Detainee also referred to two detainees recently transferred to Abu Ghraib who had "showed him wounds at the DCCP they said were inflicted by translators."
