Abstract

After a year in captivity in Lebanon, John McCarthy and I were moved to a new hideout and put into chains that were not removed for three years. We were transported to the new hideout hidden in a small box under a lorry. The horror of the journey was indescribable. We were chained up in our new prison in one corner with our guards in another corner. We requested a sheet to separate the two areas. We were subjected to an interrogation: we were considered to be spies. A chance to write to our families was offered and, after discussion between John and myself, we accepted it.
