The guards called him a 'son of a bitch' and a 'bastard,' then told him he was crazy. [redacted] rolled onto his stomach to protect himself . . . A soldier . . . jumped on his back and started beating him in the face. [redacted] then choked him until he passed out. [redacted] stated that [redacted] was beating him because [redacted] was a Muslim and [redacted] is a Christian.
