UK: The first of the Muslim prisoners released from Belmarsh high security prison after being held on suspicion of terrorism, [scapegoats for the Coalition of the Killing's resource war's in the Middle East], has [said], his fellow prisoners are suffering such 'severe mental problems' that they constantly consider suicide.
In his first interview since being released from the jail, after judges said there was no evidence that he was a terrorist, prisoner M said being held without charge and without limit of time has made his fellow prisoners "crazy".
"Their situation has become very, very difficult for them," he said. "Three or four of them have become mad, exactly mad. They can't control themselves, they are not thinking in a good way."
His claims came on the day that another detainee, G - neither can be named for legal reasons - was released from Belmarsh to become the first prisoner in Britain to be held under house arrest because he is too mentally ill to stay in prison.
The decision marks another embarrassing defeat for David Blunkett, the home secretary, who had fought to prevent both G and M from being released.
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission ruled that G had become mentally deranged in Belmarsh and that his detention meant he was in danger of self-harm. He will now reside at his home under strict bail conditions and will be cared for by mental health workers.
According to M, G explained to him that he knew suicide was against Islam but he took consolation in an interpretation of the Koran which allows a Muslim to do something which is forbidden in the most extreme circumstances.
"If you are lost in the desert and you don't have any food and drink but you have a bottle of wine, which is forbidden, then it is allowed for us to stay alive," he said. "I am in prison, I am thinking of taking my own life because I would do less harm than what prison is doing to me."
M [said], last night: "One of them understands that he is crazy, because his situation is worse than the others, he thinks that everybody wants to kill him, that maybe he will lose his wife.
"It is unlawful to detain people inside prison indefinitely and the situation is made worse because of the situation in the prison, where you are inside four walls for most of the time."
The 38-year-old Libyan claims that two of the detaineees have become full-time carers for their fellow prisoners because they are now so obviously sick. He recalled how he was once woken at 3am and asked by a prison officer to look after G. "Sometimes he is crying, sometimes he said: 'I would like to kill myself, I can't stay alone in my cell.' He is just thinking: 'When am I going to die?'"
M claims Belmarsh cannot cope with mental health issues but the Home Office argues that each prisoner has the same healthcare provision inside as they would receive outside.
"They say they have healthcare in Belmarsh but it doesn't make a difference. They will take you from your single cell, they will put you with other people and maybe they are more mad than you. They will give you tablets to make you sleep and that's it. They are not coping with the situation. I have seen people become worse. It is absolutely appaling conditions."
M said he had not contemplated suicide but it has been reported that at least one of the other men attempted it.
"I don't know if they have tried [suicide] but they are thinking about it," M said. "The reason is because they do not know if they will ever be released."
Last night the Home Office said: "Anyone held in a high-security establishment has access to 24-hour healthcare. They are regularly seen by healthcare professionals and anyone can request a psychiatric assessment at any time, as can their legal representatives, and they will be seen."
