CAIRO, August 4 (IslamOnline.net) – Former British prisoners at the
notorious US Guantanamo detention camp in Cuba said Wednesday, August 4, that they were repeatedly beaten, shackled
in painful positions during interrogations and subjected to sleep
deprivation.
The
shocking stories of Shafiq Rasul, Asif Iqbal and Rhuhel Ahmed are
revealed by Britain’s mass-circulation TheGuardian
according to a 115-page dossier detailing repeated beatings and
humiliation suffered by three Britons who were captured in
Afghanistan, then held in Guantanamo
Bay
for two years, before being released in March without charge.
The
dossier, based on two months of interviews by the men's lawyers,
provides the first full account by the three Britons of their ordeal
as terror suspects.
In
one incident, the trio said the torture and ill-treatment of their
interrogators, including CIA officials and British officers from the
Special Air Service (SAS), forced them to confess that they were being
on a video with Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
