Témara

Located in the headquarters of the Direction de la Securité du Territoire (DST), the Moroccan secret police, Témara was used to torture Binyam Mohamed for 18 months.

Mohamed, an Ethiopian-born Briton later sent to Guantanamo Bay, told his Reprieve lawyers that interrogators there cut his chest and penis when he refused to answer questions.

Abou Elkassim Britel was held here for nearly eight and a half months in 2002, and again for four months in 2003.

Britel was subjected to brutal forms of physical torture, including repeated, severe beatings, and threats against his own life and those of his family. He also suffered "bottle torture"— a technique commonly used by Moroccan intelligence services whereby a broken bottle is forced into the detainee's anus.
