Kabul, June 14 (RHC) -- The United States recently released ten Pakistani prisoners who were held at Bagram prison in Afghanistan for years without trial.
One of the prisoners, Yunus Rahmatullah, spent 10 years at Bagram without charge or trial after being captured by British forces in Iraq. The legal charity Reprieve has called for a full investigation into Rahmatullah’s capture, noting he is "said to be in a grave mental and physical condition as a result of sustained abuse in U.K. and subsequently U.S. custody."
