http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1097915After Australian David Hicks’ horrific revelations concerning the torture he suffered in the Guantánamo concentration camp, including mysterious injections with substances of unknown origin, the lawyer for two of the French detainees: Nizar Sassi and Mourad Benchellali, released in July, recently announced in Paris that his clients suspect that they were also the victims of experiments in one of the most sinister interrogation centers at the US military base.

... ils ont décrit des scènes proches de ce qui s'est passé à Abou Ghraib...
...Ils ont aussi eu des injections, surtout au début de leur détention à Guantanamo. Ils ne savaient pas quel genre de médicaments on leur donnait, mais tous deux ont affirmé qu'un de leur co-détenus avait été couvert de boutons après avoir pris un de ces médicaments, et plus largement ils se demandaient s'ils n'étaient pas victimes d'expérimentations.
Les fioles qui contenaient les médicaments portaient des numéros, et un médecin passait les voir pour leur demander quels effets avaient les médicaments...
I picked out some highlights from the "7 questions" answered by lawyer, Debray, but no, I can't translate.
Translation of parts of French article:
Prisoners Guinea Pigs in Guantanamo?
... After the declaration under oath of an Australian prisoner making state of ill treatments, it reconsiders the conditions of detention in the American base of Cuba, and affirms that its customers, who were constrained to take suspect drugs, wonder whether they were not victims of experiments...
...Yes, they described scenes close to what occurred to Abou Ghraib...
...This sentence had indeed escaped with the censure, and Nizar assure me the catch of these drugs. Once, following the catch of one of these drugs, it lost consciousness and had the impression to have remained one or two days unconscious.
They also had injections, especially at the beginning of their detention with Guantanamo. They did not know which kind of drugs one gave them, but both affirmed that one of their fellows-prisoner had been covered with buttons* after having taken one of these drugs, and more largely they wondered whether they were not victims of experiments.
The flasks which contained the drugs carried numbers, and a doctor passed to see them to ask them which effects had the drugs...
*
Button = bouton =
Bud, pimple, button, stud, knob, and a few others. In this translation, I vote for "pimple".
