[edit] Comments on the three alleged suicides of June 11, 2006

The Associated Press quoted Ruhal following the announcement of the deaths of three detainees, who were alleged to have committed suicide.^[4]

"There is no hope in Guantanamo. The only thing that goes through your mind day after day is how to get justice or how to kill yourself. It is the despair _ not the thought of martyrdom _ that consumes you there."
"A Saudi detainee in the cell in front of us had had enough. We could hear him rip up his sheets and tie it to the wire mesh roof of the cell. He jumped off his sink and tried to hang himself. We shouted to the military police and they came and saved him."
"It's weird because when we left we weren't even that religious, We were young _ average British lads. Obviously if we knew what we were getting ourselves into we would have never gone."
