I have a friend who is a member of the PKK [Kurdistan Workers’ Party] and so they suspected me of being PKK. They tortured me to say that I was a member of the PKK.

Then, the Turks took us on a bus to the Iraqi border crossing at Zakho and turned us over to the Kurdish authorities. We were handcuffed. The Iraqi Kurds held 65 of us in a room for four days.
