The London chef who was forsaken for five years in Guantanamo
The Times is running a story of a guy was toturtured and held without charge for 5.5 years in Guantanamo after he was sold to the US for a $5000 bounty:
He was freed after the sole allegation against him – that he had been a senior figure at an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan in July 2001 – fell apart. The claim came from an unidentified source and was proved false by lawyers from the London-based charity Reprieve.
Pakistani police passed him to American agents in return for a $5,000 bounty and he was taken to Bagram, then to a prison camp at Kandahar.
