Mahir Göktas (14)
I was arrested at midnight and 1:00 am on December 27, 1995 in my village by the anti-terrorist group Manisa. First they took me to the Kinik police station. I was later dragged into a white Mazda. Together with me five civilian police officers got into the car and blindfolded me. They held a gun to my temple, held my fingers on the trigger, and threatened to kill me. They insulted me and hit me on the ribs. When I was in Manisa, I was taken to the police station. There we went down a long corridor. My eyes were blind. Suddenly five to six people rushed towards me and thrashed me with their feet and truncheons. When I got a kick in my stomach, I lost consciousness. When I came to, I was in a cell. Later two people came in and abruptly took me away. They put me in a room and asked me questions that I didn’t know the answer to. If I "I have nothing to answer" said, they hit my head with fists and batons. They wanted me to take my clothes off, but I didn’t. Then they ripped my clothes off by force. They put me on a wet linen blanket, squeezed my testicles, and threatened to remove my manhood.
