Shocking mobile phone footage shows a prisoner being attacked in his own cell by a gang of fellow inmates at scandal-hit HMP Birmingham.
Mohammed Waqas, 24, was left with a broken nose and two black eyes in two separate assaults over the weekend after being accused of being a ‘a snitch’.
Disturbing footage shows the humiliated victim being made to call himself a ‘p***y’ and say ‘Pete you’re the man’ before being repeatedly slapped and punched.
The video comes just a day after the Government announced it was taking over the running of the jail from G4S after inspectors said it had fallen into a ‘state of crisis’.
Mohammed’s partner, Aisha Ali, 24, from Alum Rock, Birmingham, said: ‘My partner was assaulted by six inmates on two separate occasions.

‘They recorded the incident on a phone and within 15 minutes of the assault the video went all over the internet.
‘We have been trying to contact the prison and the police several times because it is really unsafe.
‘He has a broken nose and two black eyes and he’s been left in really dangerous conditions, it’s difficult for us to speak to prison authorities.’
Mohammed’s uncle Mushtaq Hussain, 56, a retired garage owner from Alum Rock, said: ‘My nephew was beaten in his cell twice.
‘They are not looking after his welfare. We have contacted the Home Secretary and our MP about this.
‘What hurts the most is they say they don’t know what has happened.
‘He has broken his nose, yet they have not said anything.
‘We are very concerned about my nephew’s welfare and we’ve asked if we can talk to him but they said we can’t, there is drugs inside, there are mobiles inside and there are gangs attacking other prisoners and my nephew could have been killed.

A shocking report has revealed staff have lost control of prisoners in one of Britain’s biggest prisons in Birmingham. Pictured: Prisoners gleefully pose with guard’s helmets during a prison riot in 2016
‘I want to speak to the Governor, my nephew should be in hospital and his welfare need to be looked after.
‘Everyone responsible needs to go, the security needs to be upgraded.
‘We wanted to visit him immediately and they said we couldn’t – we are going to arrange a massive demonstration outside the prison.
‘This prison has a big problem with gangs if they allow if they like these people take videos and post them on the internet.
‘Mohammed is the father of a young child and he has a young wife – he has not even yet been charged.
‘He is in prison over an allegation of assault, he’s on remand.’

Chief inspector Peter Clarke (pictured left giving a round of broadcast interviews yesterday) said the government had been ‘asleep at the wheel’ while the crisis developed. Prisons minister Rory Stewart (pictured right) said as many as 20 other prisons faced similar problems
In one video Mohammed is seen being punched and slapped in his cell by a lag wearing orange gloves along with five other gang members.
The attacker says ‘Say ‘I’m a p***y’, what else are you? A snitch bro, you’re a snitch.’
Mohammed replies ‘Get your hands off me’ before being slapped and punched in the head as he is made to recite ‘I’m a p***y’
In the other video a frightened looking Mohammed can be seen saying: ‘Pete, you’re the man, I’m sorry, I’ll come out of here like a changed man.’
His attacker says ‘and what else?’ before punching him in the head as Mohammed says again: ‘You’re the man Pete.’
The subtitled caption on the video reads: ‘Don’t try and get a man’s address because we will wrap you up rapid.’
Earlier this week the Ministry of Justice seized control of Birmingham Prison from G4S after a damning report from Peter Clarke, Chief Inspector of Prisons
It read: ‘On average, almost a quarter said they felt unsafe at the time of the inspection; this figure was as high as 37 per cent in Birmingham and Wormwood Scrubs.
‘Some prisons had begun to take appropriate strategic action, but even then violence remained high and more sustained action was required.’
Prisons minister Rory Stewart raised fears about the scope of chaos on the system, saying that ‘as many as 20’ other prisons are struggling with similar issues, with drugs the ‘big driver’.
Mr Clarke suggested ministers had been ‘asleep at the wheel’.
He said: ‘How is it that in 18 months a prison which is supposedly being run under the auspices of a tightly-managed contract, how has that been allowed to deteriorate?’ he said.
‘There are Ministry of Justice officials on-site permanently, and yet somehow there seems to have been some sort of institutional inertia that has allowed this prison to deteriorate to this completely unacceptable state.’
Asked whether the MoJ had failed, Mr Clarke told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘I think that’s the only reasonable conclusion you can come to.’
