Saad Iqbal Madni

Saad Iqbal Madni, a renowned recitor of the Quran from Pakistan was visiting Indonesia when he was kidnapped by the Americans. He was shackled and bundled onto a plane and moved from one location to another before spending five years at Guantanamo Bay on entirely false grounds.

From Indonesia, he passed through the British Indian Ocean Territory of Diego Garcia before being renditioned to Egypt where he was refused medical treatment and was torured.

He reports that he was tortured by Egyptian interrogators in the employ of the Americans and that Mubarak's son, Gamal was involved. Gamal Mubarak, incidentally, is still at large.

From there, he was moved to Bagram airbase, Afghanistan where he spent a year and where "he was hung from the ceiling with his feet barely touching the ground for long periods".

Thereafter, he was moved to Guantanamo where he was to spend the next five years wrongfully imprisoned.

In the light of the human rights abuses on their own territory,it is completely unconscionable that the proposed American humanitarian mission in Libya has anything to do with concern for the plight of Libyans.It is, as with Iraq rather more about expansionism and the liberation of, er, oil.
