Ex-Gitmo detainee says he would rather go back than endure life in Tunisia
[NYTimes] After eight years as a detainee in the US detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, he [Hedi Hammami] said he still suffers from headaches, depression, and anxiety attacks from the torture and other mistreatment he says he suffered there, even six years after his release.Married with two children now and employed as a nighttime ambulance driver, Hammami, 47, seems to have rebuilt his life. Yet the pressures of living in Tunisia's faltering democracy, under harassment and enduring repeated raids by the police, have driven him to make an extreme request. "It would be better for me to go back to that single cell and to be left alone,'' he said recently. "Two or three weeks ago I went to the Red Cross and asked them to connect me to the US foreign ministry to ask to go back to Guantanamo.'' The Red Cross refused to take his request Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 2017-02-19 |
