British man who 'vanished' after being stripped of citizenship says he was tortured and forced to sign a confession by the CIA

• First shocking interview with Mahdi Hashi from his New York cell
• Told how he was made to watch a Swedish detainee being beaten
• He was stripped and blindfolded, and told he would be sexually abused
• Was forced to sign a confession agreeing to waive his right to silence

Mr Hashi also told how he was made to watch as a Swedish detainee was beaten in front of him: '[The man was] stripped to his underwear and hung upside down.

They beat the soles of his feet, poured cold water on him and said they would electrocute him. There was screaming all around me and it was pretty horrific.'

Mr Hashi claims that the next day he was taken out of his cell and warned that if he did not co-operate he would be abused and beaten in the same way. 

He says the Djibouti interrogators then stripped him to his underwear, blindfolded him and told him he would be sexually abused.
