Guantanamo Swede Claims Torture
The Swedish citizen held for more than two years by the United States at Guantanamo Bay has spoken out publicly for the first time since his arrival in Sweden.

Medhi Ghezali, who came home Thursday, told Swedish Radio that he was tortured both mentally and physically while in detention at Guantanamo. SR´s correspondent described Ghezali as withdrawn, solemn and tired.

Speaking with other media Ghezali claimed US interrogators subjected him to a string of abuses, including being shackled for hours, sleep deprivation, no contact with the outside world, being forced to endure shivering temperatures for up to 14 hours at a time and attempts to humiliate him sexually.
