“My family and I are living in a nightmare… I never thought the day would come when I would regret my 40 years in this country.” (Ashfaq Ahmad, father of detainee Babar Ahmad)
DETENTION IN AFGHANISTAN AND GUANTANAMO
by Shafiq Rasul, Asif Iqbal and Rhuhel Ahmed (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=2741)
“He had been forced to watch a video supposedly showing two detainees dressed in orange, one sodomising the other, and was told that this would happen to him if he didn’t co-operate.”
In this 115-page report released last Wednesday, former British Guantanamo detainees, Shafiq Rasul, Asif Iqbal and Rhuhel Ahmed detail the terrible ordeal they and other prisoners were forced to endure in US custody, first in Afghanistan and then in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This dossier includes a detailed discussion of the interrogations, exposes the extent of British complicity in the legal black hole of Guantanamo and sheds light on the state of many of their fellow inmates.

Why is Babar Ahmad Being Extradited To The USA and Not Being Charged In The UK? (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=2824)
“…when people against whom there is not enough evidence to try them in a UK court, on offences that they are alleged to have committed whilst actually on UK soil, for which there are ample police powers and draconian UK laws to deal with, are being extradited to foreign countries on little or no evidence, some of which could be the result of allegations produced under torture, something is very wrong.”

Abuse, British Complicity And The Scandal Of The Prisoners Held At Guantanamo (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=2817)
One of the reasons the US authorities have given for continuing to confine so many prisoners at Guantanamo is the danger they say these 600 people could present to the Western world if they were free. It is becoming increasingly apparent, however, that there may be another reason why these individuals are being kept out of circulation: the harrowing accounts of their treatment they might produce if, and when, they were released.
