Majid Khan, a Pakistani citizen, was released from Guantanamo on Thursday after he had completed his sentence.
The United States forces released Majid Shoukat Khan, 42, to the custody of the authorities in Belize after a two-hour flight from the Guantanamo in Cuba.
The releasement of Majid Khan ended an imprisonment that included torture at clandestine CIA sites and 16 years at the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
Majid Shoukat Khan was detained after returning to his native Pakistan to visit his wife and was captured by Pakistani authorities, who handed him over to the CIA.
On March 13, 2008, the CIA released highly redacted documents from a Combatant Status Review Tribunal in which Khan describes the abuse and torture he suffered in CIA custody.
The Senate Intelligence Committee's C.I.A. Torture Report, released December 9, 2014, revealed that Khan was one of the detainees subjected to “rectal feeding”, which his lawyers described as a form of rape, as part of his ″torture regime″ at the black site prison. Khan's “lunch tray”, consisting of hummus, pasta with sauce, nuts, and raisins was pureed and rectally infused,” says the report. (ILKHA)
