Exclusive: Moazzam Begg interviews former Guantanamo prisoner Saber Lahmer in Paris
Written by Moazzam Begg Tuesday, 08 February 2011Saber Lahmer is one of the six 'Bosnian Arabs' who were quite literally kidnapped by US agents from outside a Sarajevo courthouse where they had just been acquitted of terrorism related charges. What followed next was a horrifying ordeal in the Kafkaesque story that is Guantanamo. After being held without charge for over eight years Saber Lahmer was eventually released and resettled in France.

(Abu Sulayman)
