An entire section of the Senate Intelligence Committee‘s executive summary of the CIA torture report focuses on the sadistic abuse of one of my clients. The excerpt, titled „CIA Headquarters Recommends That Untrained Interrogators in Country … Use the CIA‘s Enhanced Interrogation Techniques on“ Redha al-Najar, contains detailed descriptions of the specific methods of torture my client was subjected to while in CIA custody.

Najar, a Tunisian citizen, has been detained without charge for 12 years. Though the U.S. government has never allowed my co-counsel and me to communicate with our client, our own investigation of his case revealed that, in 2002, unknown agents broke into his home in Pakistan, seized him from his family and „disappeared“ him.
