Sent to Guantánamo after years in secret detention

Before this, they were held in secret by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for up to four and a half years – victims of enforced disappearance. The US authorities have classified as secret the location of these clandestine detention facilities and the interrogation techniques used in them. Majid Khan has alleged that he was tortured in CIA custody but these details also remain classified. The CIA has confirmed that it used “waterboarding”, a form of torture, as an interrogation technique against three other detainees held in secret in 2002 and 2003. To date, no one has been brought to justice for the serious abuses linked to the secret detention programme.
