"My detention continued at Damphu High School and so did the ill treatment and torture by the Royal Bhutan Army personnel. I was handcuffed all the time and confined in a foul smelling room, as I was required to pass urine and stool in a tiny tin pot kept in my room. I was provided with food which was adulterated with sand and pebbles, and even the droppings of mice. The army guards on duty used to have fun by bringing other inmates to my room and forcing us to fight, head butting like bulls. We were threatened and forced to bull fight with greater intensity, and the guards would burst into laughter seeing us in such action. We were regularly forced to wrestle and beat one another very hard with bamboo sticks. If someone was found to hit the fellow inmates lightly, the army would mercilessly beat that person, demonstrating how to hit hard. My cousin Harka and I were also made to carry the tin pot, filled with our own urine and faeces, on our backs and carry another inmate on top of that and crawl around the room."
