After Daniel
Chong was arrested in a federal drug raid, he wasn’t taken to Gitmo. Instead,
the Feds thoughtfully arranged to bring Gitmo to him, nearly torturing him to
death in the process.
Chong,
a senior at the University of California-San Diego, was one of nine people
swept up in an April 21 narcotics raid by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
After his arrest he spent four hours handcuffed in a cell before being
questioned. One of the agents who questioned Chong described him as someone who
was “in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
After being
interrogated, the student was told that he would be released and provided with
paperwork to sign. He was then handcuffed and put into a five-by-ten-foot
detention cell, where he
was held for five days in conditions that qualify as torture under any rational
reading of either domestic or international law.
