Torture Killing Me Softly by Pillar of South Asia Mr. Tek Nath Rizal

BIMAL GAUTAM

The book is by and about Tek Nath Rizal, the prominent democratic fighter of Bhutan. It is a saga of sufferings and struggles that continues to this day with no end in sight. However, there is no escape for him, either. His activism for democracy and human rights caused a chain of suffering throughout his life. This is the story of Rizal, probably the last rebel from the Kingdom of Bhutan. 

His recently released book “Torture Killing Me Softly” is all about how he was tortured by the state authorities, even after he was put to jail.

And the torture tactics, according to Rizal, left him in physical and mental wreck forever. How was Rizal tortured? He says the tortures meted out to him were not just confined to physical assaults. He was tortured mentally, too. And mental tortures are more damaging than the physical ones.

If a man is physically assaulted, he can be treated, and even if he is maimed, he may slowly come to terms with it. But mental agonies remain deeply etched in his mind, and haunting his mind every now and then for the rest of his life. And that was what the Bhutanese authorities did to Rizal. Even several years after he fled his country of the thunderbolt, Rizal says the tortures are killing him softly. Rizal recalls:

“Systematic efforts were made to completely destroy my senses but my deeper sub-conscious remained alive inside me. This has been instrumental in my post-torture mental reconstruction process, owing to which I have recollected myself to share my experiences with the world.”

What would have been the results had the Bhutanese authorities’ plan to completely destabilize Rizal’s brain succeeded? Rizal wouldn’t have been functioning as he is doing today and in a condition to share his experiences, while in Bhutan that has been infamous for its cleansing of ethnic Nepali population known as Lhotsampa.

“Torture was not confined to primitive physical assaults by using whips, clamps, chains, ropes and giving electric shocks but also involved application of various scientific devices like light sensitivity, very high sound decibels, microwaves on my conscience. The objective was clear as to destabilize the mind, induce anomalous behavioural changes and create dissociation.”

Prof. Dr. Indrajit Rai, writing the foreword to Rizal’s book, says that the modern scientific methods which have massive and long-lasting detrimental effects were used against Rizal.

According to him, the mind-control techniques applied to war prisoners were used to destroy Rizal’s mind in the Bhutanese jails. An electromagnetic mind-control technique can take full control of the person’s body and mind permanently. Dr Rai assesses:

“I learned from the book that the Bhutanese government practiced mind-control techniques on Mr. Rizal as a means to inflict physical and mental pain in order to destroy his life. With a view to deviating him from his goal of fighting for democracy, the Bhutanese government used these devices on him and pumped out all his thoughts and feelings.”

The mind control device used by the Bhutanese authorities to destroy Rizal’s brain can be a more interesting subject for science students. That’s why this book is useful for them, too.”

While going through this book, this scribe was especially surprised to read the torturous life of Rizal in the Rabuna prison. The author has chosen a separate topic to express his torturous experiences of that prison under the heading “The living hell in Rabuna Prison.”

Rizal recalls his torturous moments while shifting him from one prison to another:

“During the journey, my mind controllers started nagging me by saying, ‘Teke (a derogatory name given to me by them), you want to be a leader! You want to be the king of Bhutan! Now you will face the consequences! I heard a voice in my mind telling me that this was the result of working against the will of the king. All these things increased my agonies.

“The weather got colder and as we reached Dochula, snowfall started. My whole body was aching as it was tied. It was impossible to make the slightest movement. My arms and legs were slowly freezing. My body started itching all of a sudden, perhaps due to the change in body temperature, causing unbearable aches and irritation. The immense pain all over my body suffocated me, and I felt that if I shouted loudly, it would give me relief. But I controlled myself with great restraint.”

In the Rabuna jail, both of Rizal’s hands were tied at the back for many days. According to him, there was an abundance of snakes in that prison because the area was infested with frogs, rats, cockroaches and mosquitoes as it was on the banks of the Wangdichhu River.

For Rizal, there were not many constables moving around to monitor except some routine patrolling. The room Rizal was holed in was never opened. He had to pull the food through a small hole in the room, with his teeth, by kneeling on the ground and push the plate back through the same hole. Whenever he felt thirsty, he had to turn the water tap on and off with his teeth, the position of the tap next to the toilet made this an unenviable practice.

The water flow from the tap was never regular and, moreover, the supplied water was full of dirt. The quality of the food served to Rizal was unhygienic and unfit for human consumption. The prison officers adulterated his food with nails, pieces of glass, fish bones and dead insects, among other hazardous materials. Rizal felt miserable when he ate that food and drank the polluted water. Consumption of such unsafe food resulted in persistent health problems of various kinds which he suffers from even today. He was given a container to wash himself after using it for the toilet as well as for drinking water.

“At a time when both of my hands were tied at my back, I had to eat like an animal, slathering with my mouth from the plate.”

Rizal has written in detail about the torturous moments he lived in different Bhutanese prisons. The book is really useful to know about how the authorities used tortures against the freedom fighter and human rights activist.
