Mr. Sagheer and other prisoners were airlifted by helicoptor from Shabargan Jail to U.S.-occupied Bagram airbase in Kandahar, where a secret CIA interrogation center is located which uses “stress and duress” techniques for interrogation7. There they were shackled and put on a U.S. military plane for transport to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. During the flight their lips were sealed, eyes covered, hands and feet and backs were chained. They were each given nothing but an apple and a piece of bread during the 24 hour flight.At Guantanamo he was identified with an ID bracelet labelled “Delta” for Guantanamo which he still retains. The prisoners were put like animals in chain-link cages with roofs on cement pads out in the open - 6ft. X 6 ft. X 7 ft. - where they were fully chained and locked inside the cages. They were subjected to physical and mental torture, starved, forced to drink urine, and not allowed to speak. Mr. Sagheer said they were forced by guards to take pills which drugged him and made him senseless8. At times alcohol was added to drinks given to the prisoners2, a violation of Islamic religious law. He also complained that meat forbidden by religious law was sometimes added to their food2. They were denied the ability to pray. Blood was drawn from the prisoners every two or three days2. Mr. Sagheer complained to his lawyer that sometimes as much as 1000 ccs of his blood was taken with no explanation or purpose.
Prisoners were detained on “suspicion of terrorism” without charges and provided with no legal mechanism for appeal, condemning them to long-term imprisonment9. Even their names were withheld from release. The Bush administration has claimed they are “enemy combatants” 4,8 rather than prisoners of war, and therefore have no rights to the American legal system4,7. This claim is now being challenged and will be heard in the U.S. Supreme Court 8 in the Spring of 2004.
