This is about the Guantanamo detainees and the case of Mohammed Al-Amin. Here's what happened. Mohammed traveled to Saudi Arabia when he was a teen to study the Qu'ran, leaving behind his family. He wants to become a teacher. He travelled to Pakistan where he was arrested after the attacks on the US mainland on September 11 2001. He was transferred to US custody, transported to afghanistan, then to Guantanamo,Cuba, having never been charged with a criminal offence, over four years since his arrest. While in Pakistan custody, mistreated where he was beaten, held in solitary confinement for a long time, and denied adequate food. He was deprived of sleep, sexually abused, and tied to the ceiling and if he lost consciousness, guards would forcefully wake him up. Just to let you know, he was never charged with any crimes but was still getting tortured. Should he be released unless charged and tried in accordance with standards of fairness in a court that will not impose the death penalty ??
