In other cases, individuals who were captured and later released with no charges have reported abusive acts by CF, including being handcuffed, hooded, earmuffed and roughly handled while being transported to detention facilities.

In Virginia, for instance, human rights advocates report that inmates at two supermax prisons have been hooded and subjected to excessive and malicious use of force by prison staff, often involving electric shock devices and rubber bullets.

One of the powerful images (above) from Sunday's execution is from ISNA and shows one of the young men before his execution apparently resting his head on the shoulder of his executioner, while the hooded man appears to be consoling him with a hand on the shoulder.

The agents stripped the clothes from the men's bodies, inserted suppositories of an unknown nature, placed diapers upon them and dressed them in black overalls. Their hands and feet were chained to a specially designed harness, and they were blindfolded and hooded as they were brought to the plane.
