Binyam Mohammed, released without charge February 22, 2009 from Guantánamo Bay, is a British resident arrested in Pakistan and handed over to the CIA.
In Morocco, during CIA-directed stages of his nearly seven-year captivity, Mr. Mohamed endured 18 months of torture, including regular sessions of genital mutilation. Investigators with Reprieve, a victims' and survivors' advocacy organization report that an Aero Contractors employee photographed physical evidence of Mr. Mohamed's abuse -- wounds and scars.
Khaled al-Maqtari, is a survivor. Captured in a U.S. sweep in Fallujah during 2004, al-Maqtari was held first at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison and for 32 months in secret detention during which he was tortured. Ultimately, he was released without charge.
Here is an overview and a more lengthy list of other victims and survivors linked to Aero Contractors' operations in support of extraordinary rendition.
