Suleiman Abdullah
Suleiman Abdallah (WP) was captured in Mogadishu (WP) in 2003 by Somali (WP) warlord Mohamed Dhere, who sold him to Americans, allegedly CIA officials.[1]
Extrajudicial rendition (WP) sent him via Kenya (WP) and Djibouti (WP) to Afghanistan (WP) for five years of detention and torture. Imprisoned in three different US detention or Black Site (WP) facilities from 2003 to 2008, he suffered suffering sexual abuse, beatings and torture. [1]
Among the techniques used to torture Suleiman was the increasingly ill-named "Palestinian hanging"Strappado torture technique.
The first prison Suleiman was sent to, human rights investigator Clara Gutteridge believes to be the "Dark Prison"; he endured its near-total darkness, 24 hours per day auditory overstimulation, deprivation of access to legal representation, and other abuse, before being taken to a prison called the "Salt Pit", which Gutteridge succinctly calls "not much better".[2]
Abdallah was released from Parwan Detention Facility aka Bagram Theater internment facility aka PDF at Bagram Airfield aka Bagram Air Base aka Bagram Air Force Base in 2008 with only a one page document stating his innocence.[1][2]
