AAP

前關塔那摩海灣被拘留者Mamdouh Habib說他在早採訪沒有顯露他的酷刑細節與媒介和其他，因為他被告訴了不對由他的醫生和律師。

habib先生在悉尼的今天提供證據在第二階段的誹謗行動反對全國性新聞，在2005年2月專欄 每日通信機.

陪審員由暗示他尋找文章被誹謗的先生Habib錯誤地提出要求關於酷刑。

The former terror suspect told the NSW Supreme Court that in interviews in 2005 with human rights group Amnesty International and the 60 Minutes television program, he did not talk about being given electric shocks and being drugged on legal and medical advice.

In one interview he denied being tortured before being taken to Guantanamo Bay, saying there was “just kicking”, and in the other he stated that he had been beaten only once for refusing to sign a document.

“I explained I be kicking (sic), no blanket, and told (Amnesty) I have a lot of stuff I can’t talk about until my court case,” Mr Habib said.

“I have been told by my psychological doctor not (to) go through the torture because I was very stressed.”

Mr Habib said his memory of what happened had come back slowly because of the trauma and the drugs he had been given, but he insisted his current account was accurate.

“Now I have no reason not to give evidence about tortures,” he said.

Nationwide News barrister Alec Leopold accused Mr Habib of trying to erect a “smokescreen” around what actually happened.

“(Mr Habib’s evidence this week) was a complete revision of history,” Mr Leopold said. “I want to suggest to you that you made up your evidence… on Wednesday.

“The real position was that stated approximately two years ago to (Amnesty).”

Mr Habib replied: “No.”

Mr Leopold grilled Mr Habib on his recollections of Australian consular official Alastair Adams during his interrogations.

He also played a tape of Mr Habib’s first interview with Australian officials at Guantanamo Bay in May 2002, saying he seemed then to be “articulate, in terrific spirits and very good condition”.

The voice on the tape is heard to say: “I don’t fight, I don’t kill nobody, I don’t harm nobody.

“Jihad does not mean carrying a gun and killing people for no reason.”

The former Guantanamo inmate said a number of his supposed answers in the interview were incorrect and refused to confirm that the person speaking on the tape was him.

“I believe I met with people from Australia (in Cuba), but I never have any interview with them,” he said.

ASIO officers were to give evidence this afternoon about their interviews with Mr Habib in Guantanamo, Egypt and Pakistan.
