Sami El Haj: six years of hell in Guantanamo.
Released from the Free World: Sami Al Haj, the Al Jazeera cameraman recounts the six years of hell he spent in Guantanamo.
Sami Al Haj, a Sudanese cameraman of Al Jazeera Channel, for more than six years, was detained and tortured in the American military camp of Guantanamo Bay. After years of arbitrary detention and inhuman treatment, Sami Al Haj was released without any trial. The Pentagon did not comment on his release.
Sami Al Haj walks today with a cane, result of the mistreatment undergone during his detention. With a stuttering elocution and eyes that shine -with the light of a dawn of which the dark night is not yet completely gone-, he tells his suffering and the cause which he has adopted from now on : the defence of human rights.
