The Daily Kos reported on the torture being endured by Occupy Oakland protesters who were caged during the mass-arrests this week.
Some of the jailed report on their experiences:
“Just got out of Santa Rita Jail last night the prisoners from the Oakland Commune were being denied medications (some had seizures) while the guards said they didnt care if they died. Some people were brutally beaten. The put tear gas in the vents of my cell twice. They were keeping people without restrooms forcing them to [defecate] themselves or puke all over and stay in the same area….”
In a scene reminiscent of a third-world dictatorship, “Women arrestees were forced to give urine samples in front of male officers, ostensibly for pregnancy testing.” This is also done to further humiliate the people in cages.
