“‘They handcuffed me, covered my face with a hood and kidnapped me for two days in a location unknown to police chiefs,’ Lemus told AFP. ‘I endured torture that I never imagined could exist,’ he said. He said his captors wrapped plastic bags around his head to deprive him of oxygen, electrocuted his testicles and beat him with wooden boards. Still, he refused to sign a confession saying he was a member of a drug cartel. He later signed a document admitting he was detained alongside two drug traffickers, enough to get him sentenced to 20 years in prison.”
