The Road to Guantanamo Page #6

This is you at a rally in Afghanistan held by Osama

Bin Laden, right?

I told you, that's a f***ing good picture but

that ain't me...becos that ain't me...

Cell seven.

Where the f*** did you go for so long?

You must be Shafiq Rasul.

I've come from Washington.

This is a rally In Afghanistan.

Do you remember being here?

Watch closely, I want you to tell me

if you recognise anybody here

This is Osama Bin Laden.

He's addressing the rally.

These people sitting here, you recognised

any of them?

Asif...Ruhel, you...

That says 2000 here. 2000, Is that the date?

That's what is says.

I wasn't even in Afghanistan in 2000.

I was working at Currys all through the summer.

It may not be 1st of August,

it may be January 8th.

It doesn't matter, I was working at Currys

throughout the whole of 2000.

I wasn't even in Afghanistan.

I can see you on the tape in Afghanistan... in 2000

How can it be me if I wasn't

even in the country?

because I can see you on a Video with

your friends Ruhel and Asif...

...listening to Osama Bin Laden in

Afghanistan.

The woman who was in there said to me and...

..."We've put people in isolation for years

and eventually they break".

I was there about 3, 3 and a half months.

Stand up.

Stick your arms through.

Have a nice day.

Ruhel?

- Who's that?

- Is that you?

- Asif?

- Is that you?

- What are you doing here?

- You all right?

Yeah, man... how are you?

All right, man.

It was a whole different story for us now.

It was like we were getting punished, then it

was nice for about two, three months.

There's a hook on the floor... the leg irons

are attached to a hook.

Then they put your hands between your...

...ankles at the floor and chain you to the

hook on the floor as well.

They keep you there for an hour...

...sometimes two hours,

five hours, six hours.

You can't go to the toilet.

You have to urinate

and defecate where you are.

Help!

Hey, shut the f*** up!

Shut the f*** up, okay.

- Have a look at it,man.

- F*** off.

Are you a f*ggot?

You can't handle this stuff?

F***ing knob.

Why don't you just sit there and jack-off for

another four hours.

- Do you drink water?

- Yes.

- Are you a member of Al Queda?

- No.

- Have you met Osama Bin Laden?

- No.

- Did you fight with the Taliban?

- No.

I was put in a room with AC on

and then i was put in stress positions

Help!

They wanted me to say I was a fighter.

Once I said that, the next thing is

"You a member of Al Queda"?

Once you say you're a member of Al Queda,

that's it.

- Did you say you were a fighter?

- Yeah. Just get me out of here.

- No, you're f***ing staying right there.

Are you admitting to me that you are a

f***ing fighter? Is that what you want?

- Yes! - Yes!

- You are a fighter?

I said it was me.

I said, "If I admit it, what will happen?"

He says, "You will go to Court".

I said, "Give me a pen and paper, I'll write it down for you".

I said, "That's me in that photo and I was there".

Hello, Asif.

Your case is gonna be taken to a Tribunal.

- How do you feel about that?

- That's good.

- Excuse me?

- I said, "that's good".

that's good? Why do you say that?

January I'm in England.

August I'm in England.

It's not a problem,

I can proved I was in England.

I'm not bullshitting you. Go and check it out.

For me and Asif the police were our alibi.

All that year I was doing Community Service and Probation.

One was for Violent disorder...

and the Second one was for fraud and deception.

So, even if it was January or August...

...I was still covered because the whole

year I was in and out of Court and the police station..

I have some letters for you.

- I'll give them to the Americans to censor.

- Okay.

I'm here about the Video.

How many times do I have to answer these questions?

If you're not here to help, I've got nothing to

say to you, just go.

-i am here to help you.

- You came before, you did f*** all.

I'm sorry.

F*** off, man.

Just f*** off.

- You guys f***ed up.

- What?

You were belligerent and uncooperative.

Where are my letters?

They said they would give them to you.

You're not gonna get your f***ing letters back.

You were uncooperative.

F*** off, man.

After about three months, they dropped it.

They said, "Okay we made a grave mistake".

Congratulations, you've been cleared.

Then we were all taken out of isolation and

put together...

...and we started being called 'The Three

Kings'...

...because we used to get four meals,

double meals.

Films every Sunday,

McDonald's, Pizza Hut...

I want you to help us.

I want you to come, work for us.

If you work for us, I'll get you out of here in a

couple of weeks.

F*** that sh*t.

Working for you. F*** off.

Ruhel, Shafiq an Asif were kept in

Guantanamo for another 3 months.

- Hello, how are you?

- Okay.

How are you?

I am well, thank you.

They were still not allowed to see or speak to their family or lawyers.

Sign this piece of paper saying that you

were detained in Guantanamo Bay...

...because you were linked to

Al Queda and the Taliban.

No.

Go f*** yourself.

F*** you, I ain't f***ing signing that.

Then you're never going home.

It was never confirmed.

They never said "oh, It wasn't you".

They never admitted to them being wrong.

More than 750 people have been

imprisoned in Guantanamo.

It is estimate 500 are still there.

Only 10 have ever been charged.

None have ever been found

guilty of any crime.

CAMP DELTA - JTF GUANTANAMO

hey, hey, Don't look out the window!

Hey, princess... You hard of hearing?

- What's your f***ing problem?

- Don't look out the f***ing window.

Do you want me to send you back?

- Do you want me to send you right back?!

- Want you to send me back, yeah?.

Boys, this one wants to send me back yeah!

You know one thing? You can't send me back.

You don't f***ing own me!

Move the camera, man.

F***ing move the camera!

British detainees arrived home today from

Guantanamo.

They were flown by the RAF to Northolt

where they were taken...

...by police to Puddington Green Station

before being released.

We went to a hotel. I got there first and I

was waiting there for about...

...five, ten minutes, and then there was a

knock on the door. It was my dad.

We just kinda hugged...

Didn't really say anything.

It's completely changed my life.

The way i look at things,

the way i look at what's happening in the world

The world's not a nice place.

Looking back on it now, yes,

it was an experience.

And it has change my life for the better, so

I don't really regret it.

I haven't changed a great deal. Just that I

practice my religion more.

I mean, I didn't even practice at all before.

I think it's best for me to like...to move on with my life.

To start stepping forward instead of looking

back. It's time to move on.

Same smell.

It's amazing.

Didn't he say if we went straight from

Lahore, we'd go a different way?

Ask anyone and they'll tell you.

Hello? Who's this?
