U.S. Releases Asadullah Haroon Gul, Tortured and Jailed at Guantánamo for 15 Years Without Trial
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United States has released Asadullah Haroon Gul, an Afghan man who
was jailed at Guantánamo Bay for 15 years without trial. Last year, a
federal court ruled his detention was illegal and ordered his release.
According to the group Reprieve, Gul suffered severe physical and
psychological torture during his stay at Guantánamo, including being
beaten, hung by his wrists and deprived of food and water.
