Abu Zubaydah's Drawings Reveal US Torture Policy

Abu Zubaydah, a detainee held in Guantánamo Bay who was used as a human guinea pig in the CIA’s post-9/11 torture program, has created a series of 40 drawings that chronicle the torture he endured in a number of CIA dark sites between 2002 and 2006 and at Guantánamo Bay. The drawings, which Zubaydah has annotated with his own words, depict gruesome acts of violence, sexual and religious humiliation, and prolonged psychological terror committed against him and other detainees. Last week a UN body called for him to be set free immediately, finding that his ongoing detention may be a crime against humanity.
