Another Venezuelan Recounts Sexual Abuse Experienced In El Salvador's Infamous Prison After Being Released: 'I Didn't Want To Eat'

More Venezuelan men are alleging they experienced sexual abuse while held at El Salvador's infamous CECOT prison.

Speaking to NBC News, three men detailed their ordeals, including one who said he was taken to solitary confinement and forced to "kneel, perform oral sex on one person" while others "groped" him and touched his "private parts."

The man in question, Andry Hernandez Romero, said he could not identify the guards because their faces were covered and lights were dim. After the incident, he said, he didn't want to "eat" or "do absolutely anything." "The only thing I did was stay laying down, look at the toilet, remember my family, asking myself a million questions," he added.

Hernandez said he was also told by officials that he would never leave the prison and was repeatedly beat by them. "Our daily bread there as Venezuelans were beatings, threats. For whatever circumstance," the man said.

"Every time they went to hit a large group outside, they would put us in the required position so we couldn't see. And to hear the moans, to hear how they were hitting the people was also very heavy," he added.

Another man, Andry Blanco Bonilla, said he repeatedly feared for his life. "You will not be leaving here. Your days are over," an official told him after arriving at the center, he recalled. "When they made us get on our knees, they would step on our toes with their boots. They hit us with batons, they hit us on the head."

The more than 200 Venezuelans who were sent to the prison were sent back to their country earlier in July as part of a prisoner exchange between the Maduro regime and the Trump administration.

Other former detainees have also recalled their ordeals. Julio Gonzalez Jr., a 36-year-old Venezuelan who was an office cleaner and house painter in Texas, said that when he agreed to be deported back in March he assumed he would be taken back to his home country. Instead, the plane landed in El Salvador.

"The horror movie started there," Gonzalez told The Washington Post Tuesday.

When his plane landed in El Salvador, Gonzalez and two other detainees told The Washington Post that they were yanked by their feet, beaten and shoved off board as the plane's crew began to cry.

"I practically felt like an animal," Gonzalez said by telephone from his parents' home. "The officials treated us like we were the most dangerous criminals on Earth... They shaved our heads, they would insult us, they would take us around like dogs."

Another man, Joen Suarez, 23, told the outlet that he was taken several times to a dark room known as La Isla— or "the island"— and beaten, kicked and insulted. He says that when they entered the prison, they were told to run, hunched over without looking up, the shackles so tight that he could hardly breathe.

A prison guard who identified himself as the prison director addressed them all as gang members and terrorists, Suarez said. However, many of the prisoners have denied any gang allegations, and neither the U.S. nor El Salvador has provided evidence that they are gang members.
