Summary of allegations by the Special Rapporteur of abuse of a detainee held in custody at Guantanamo Bay and Bagram Air Base in 2002-2003. The claim of abuses included: prolonged standing; kneeling; painful and awkward positions; hooding; blindfolding; sleep deprivation; and 24-hour lighting. The report also strings together several domestic U.S. police incidents where it is alleged that the use of pepper spray and Tasers was inappropriate and constituted abuse.
