Between May 12 and May 26, 2023, he was subjected to severe torture and ill-treatment. He endured repeated beatings with electric cables, punches, and slaps; his left hand was crushed with a hole puncher; his right big toe was broken with a rifle butt; and he sustained a torn knee ligament and spinal disc injury due to violent assault. He was subjected to mock execution, forced to kneel at the edge of a dug grave while officers pulled the trigger of an unloaded weapon, and received death threats against his children. He was exposed to ethnic-based insults and dehumanizing language, forced to disclose his social media passwords, and interrogated regarding alleged sponsors, humanitarian aid mobilization, and accusations of terrorism. He was detained in unsanitary conditions, deprived of food and water for extended hours, and psychologically intimidated by being shown injured detainees prior to interrogation. Medical evidence later confirmed several of the physical injuries resulting from the torture.

As a result of torture and prolonged detention, he suffers from ongoing physical injuries, including knee ligament damage, spinal disc injury, and hand trauma, as well as significant psychological distress and trauma-related symptoms
