He described his interrogation session:
"Two guards took me from the cell and dropped me off [at the room where I was interrogated]. Two men were inside… [They asked what I did in Kazakhstan,] ‘Did you pray there? What do your parents do?’
I said I only stayed with family, that I took care of livestock, and that I didn’t do anything illegal… they asked me about mosque and praying… If I told them I had been praying, I had heard that I would get sentenced for 20 or 25 years. So I told them I never prayed.
Then they became upset. They said, ‘All that time with livestock, you became an animal too!’ Then they hit me with a chair until it broke..I fell to the floor. I almost fainted — they put me on the chair again. They said, ‘this guy hasn’t changed yet, he needs to stay longer’."
