chains a place where it is believed that an intense freely just indoctrination as a solution to misbehavior including drug abuse in a recent clamp down against these torture houses and the and the 146 other people who were rescued from here all the rooms have now been permanently closed for mahmoud this marks the end of the world for his rehab it's a shiny business no one knows exactly how many torture houses exist but 3 others have read it and shuts down the more call form with the best practices and we believe that rehab is not supposed to be at your house a rehab it's not supposed to have people where they're being chained and being deprived of source of livelihood was especially. extra money to pour the condition

drawn to it i mean how does this even happen. well the government authorities have been aware of places like this for us long as everyone else has been aware of them they are not places they're not heeding places and in fact i think what was shocking when we spoke to my lamu defined out of this particular piece that we visit ted was how close he was to many government officials he took us to his office showed us several awards he had received and also pictures with top government officials and top police officers and that is why many people because this relationship that he has with the government is also not heeding that's why many people are saying that this move by the government to clamp down on the house is simply political just to make them look good so how can we take this this move by the government. well as 6
12:25 am
we've heard many hundreds of men and women have been rescued from these houses well how do we take them any serious when it seems as if the government does not have any alternative plans to help these people many of them are simply returned back to their families and the government only decide it's care for 12 of them when i spoke to the commission as she said that those were the 12 that needed urgent attention however when we went to temporary come with the rest of the recovering addicts way we saw that many of them feel the need of medical attention in fact andy the young man we interviewed in the report while we were talking he could barely stand. he was shaking seriously i think he had a lot of sweat coming out and he kept on repeating everything that he needed help and so the government does not have any shock term help these people they've just been left to the effete families or simply abandoned. that is definitely.
