The saga of a UK detainee

The Independent reports the long journey of US detainee from life in Taliban-occupied Afghanistan, then as a refugee to Pakistan where he was kidnapped and shipped to Bagram Airbase and later to Guantánamo. Moazzam Begg had lived in Manchester for years before taking his wife and child to Afghanistan to teach boys and girls under the Taliban regime. He was forced to leave due to US bombing in late 2001, and was snatched from his dwelling in Pakistan to begin 1000 days of detention. He was released this week.
