Hi guys, I don't know if you can get City Talk Radio on 105.9, or even if anyone would be interested at the ungodly hour of 0200hrs on Tuesday. But, I am doing a 1-hour talk on the treatment of prisoners in French and Spanish prisons.
Apparently, people have become interested and latched on to the fact I was chained in leg-irons and manacles in public. Also, that I was escorted through the concourse at Orly airport last year by 4 armed security guards and two legionnaires with machine-guns trained on me. Shocked tourists took pictures of me as they gave us a wide berth, probably thinking I was bin Laden in disguise.
The point here is that I have never been convicted in France; I was held merely for extradition to Spain. Another point is the recent French and Spanish furore about Guantanamo Bay and the treatment of foreign prisoners by the US.
I can categorically say, here and now that I started my days with bread and water (every day) and in a 17 day period I was allowed only 3 showers. There's more... lots more, but that's for the radio show.
