Amnesty International (AI) published a report today on the case of Khaled al-Maqtari, a 31-year-old Yemeni national who was recently released after spending three years in secret CIA custody and tortured.
He was never charged with any crime.
According to AI, "His account contains numerous allegations of torture and other ill-treatment in detention. These include prolonged isolation, repeating beatings, sleep deprivation, forced nudity, exposure to extremes of hot and cold, as well as sensory deprivation and overload with bright lighting and loud music or repeated sound effects."
He was never charged with any crime.
While he is now free, he "suffers the effects of psychological and physical torture and other ill-treatment."
He was never charged with any crime.
Our tax dollars at work.
He has not received any reparation from U.S. authorities, "who have yet to even acknowledge his detention."
God bless America.
