Mohamedou Slahi, Author of a bestselling memoir recounting his imprisonment and torture by the United States government, has been sent home to his native Mauritania after more than 14 years in Guantánamo Bay.
Slahi became the prison’s best-known detainee last year after publishing “Guantánamo Diary,” in which he recounts how he was rendered by the CIA in 2001 to prisons in Jordan and Afghanistan and then taken to Guantánamo. He wrote of being beaten, subjected to sleep deprivation and freezing temperatures, and blasted with music and other abuses, but also described with incredible openness and generosity his relationships with his American guards and interrogators.
