Mohammed Assad (a/k/a "al-Assad", "al-Asaad" and "al-Asad") is a citizen of Wikipedia:Yemen who, according to Wikipedia:Amnesty International, was subjected to Wikipedia:extraordinary rendition by the Wikipedia:CIA, and held in the CIA's network of Wikipedia:black sites -- secret interrogation centers.[1][2][3] Assad had been living and working in Wikipedia:Tanzania. Amnesty International reports he was captured on December 26, 2003, and held by CIA until May 2005.

Asad says that the only thing he was asked about during his interrogation was the Wikipedia:Al-Haramain Foundation, which the Bush administration has listed as a charity tied to terrorism.[1] His interrogators believed he had worked for Al-Haramain.

In May 2005, Muhammad Assad, and two other Yemenis, Wikipedia:Salah Ali and Wikipedia:Muhammad Bashmilah, were transferred to Yemeni custody.[1]

In November 2005 Wikipedia:Anne FitzGerald a policy researcher for Amnesty International, spoke about interviews she conducted with the three men.[1] She said that she found the men's accounts credible, because their accounts of CIA custody were consistent, even though they had never been detained together, either in their US custody, or in Yemeni custody. According to Fitzergerald, the three describe being held in Wikipedia:solitary confinement, isolated from all contact with the outside world, under conditions Amnesty International described as "sensory deprivation".

According to the Washington Post, as of November 2005, all three men remained in Yemeni custody.[1] Muhammad Assad was held in a "security prison at Wikipedia:Al Ghaydah".

The Wikipedia:Washington Post contacted the CIA, and reported that CIA officials declined to refute or confirm the Amnesty International account.[1]
