Permalink Former Guantánamo inmates urge French judge to probe ‘systematic torture’

Two former Guantánamo Bay prisoners have asked a French judge to open a probe into claims of torture at the US prison. The allegations pertain to a retired commander of the facility accused of “war crimes and acts of torture inflicted on detainees.” French citizens Nizar Sassi and Mourad Benchallali, who were held in Guantánamo for late 2001 to 2004, have urged a French judge to issue a subpoena against former base commander Geoffrey Miller for torture. The two men submitted an expert report along with Khaled Ben Mustapha, another former Guantánamo inmate to the Criminal Court in Paris. The document is backed by rights groups The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) and details “an authorized and systematic plan of torture and ill-treatment on persons deprived of their freedom without any charge and without the basic rights of any detainee.”
