Afghans abused tortured at secret prison at Bagram airbase
Afghan prisoners are being abused tortured in a "secret jail" at Bagram airbase, according to nine witnesses whose stories the BBC has documented. The "abuses" are all said to have taken place since US President Barack Obama was elected, promising to end torture. The US military has denied the existence of a secret detention site and promised to look into allegations. Bagram was the site of a controversial jail holding hundreds of inmates, who have now been moved to another complex. The old prison was notorious for allegations of prisoner torture and abuse. But witnesses told the BBC in interviews or written testimony that abuses continue in a hidden facility.
