Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Yvonne Bradley was the lawyer for Binyam Mohamed, an Ethiopian national who was arrested by the Pakistani government in April 2002 on suspicion of being a member of al Qaeda. He was then shuffled through a series of CIA “ghost prisons” before being imprisoned at Guantanamo for five years.
According to Bradley, when Mohamed was first held at a CIA prison in Morocco, they would torture him by cutting his genitals with a razor blade. During this torture, Mohamad confessed that he had attended an al Qaeda training camp and discussed plans to make a dirty bomb
But then, someone figured out that Mohamad was innocent, had no associations with terrorism, and had only confessed under duress from torture. After years of detention, he was released and returned to the United Kingdom.
Another stunning victory for torture and skipping due process.
