Omar Gramesh
Omar Ghramesh was an individual captured in a raid in Faisalabad, Pakistan in March 2002.[1][2] Ghramesh was captured in the same raid as Abu Zubaydah. The raid was conducted by a joint force of Pakistani and American security forces. Seven other men captured in that raid were transferred to American custody in Guantanamo.
Ghramesh, on the other hand, was transferred to Syrian custody.[1] We know of his presence in Syria's "Palestinian Branch" prison because he met Canadian Abdullah Almalki there.[3] According to historian Andy Worthington Ghramesh told Almalki: “...that in Pakistan U.S. agents had shown him photos of Abu Zubaydah looking battered and bruised, and had told him, 'If you don’t talk, this is what will happen to you.'â€
Worthington described Ghramesh's story as ultimately more important than that of Abu Zubaydah's, because Ghramesh unlike Abu Zubaydah, never had any kind of review of the coherence of the allegations used to justify his detention, and because his current whereabouts are unknown.[1]
