| Description |
Moazzam Begg is an ordinary man who has endured an extraordinary fate- He is one of the nine Britons detained in the camps at Guantanamo Bay, imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit and whose prcise nature has never been determined. The US government labelled him simply an 'Enemy Combatant'.
Moazzam was abducted at his home in Pakistan, where he had relocated his family during the panic-stricken weeks after the 9/11 attacks, and the US bombing of Afghanistan which followed - he had been working there on education and water projects. Hooded, shackled and cuffed, he was taken first to the detention facility at Kandhar, then on to Bagram, and finally to Guantanamo Bay. In all he spent three years in prison, much of it in solitary confinement, and was subjected to over three hundred interrogations, as well as death threats and torture, witnessing the killings of two detainees. He was released early in 2005 without explanation or apology.
