Guantanamo Bay,(23 March 2003 to 31 August 2008) Total period of detention Approximately 6 years and 8 months (9 January 2002 to around 31 August 2008) Duration of secret detention Approximately the first 5 months (around May 2002, he was visited by the ICRC at Bagram Airbase) Conditions and treatment during secret detention - Jakarta, Indonesia: Detained one day at a police station. - Transfer to Cairo, Egypt, (with stopover for refueling at Diego Garcia Island): Mr. Madni was placed into an open coffin-shaped box covered with a plastic sheet, hooded, handcuffed, and bound with plastic and shackled so tightly that he could not move. During the stopover at Diego Garcia, he was unshackled, un-cuffed and allowed to urinate in a bottle, but never left the plane. Moreover, he was photographed by people who boarded the plane only for a short time. - Cairo, Egypt: Mr. Madni was detained at an Egyptian Intelligence office in an underground cell which was completely dark and smaller than a “grave”. Upon arrival at the building, he was examined by a doctor but not treated from the bleeding on his nose, ears, mouth and in his urine. During this period, he was interrogated three times, around 15 hours on each occasion, by Egyptian officers (there were also other men at the interrogations - allegedly American military officers - who did not speak and passed notes with questions to the Egyptians) about, inter alia, his links with Osama Bin Laden and terrorist attacks. Moreover, he was subjected to ill-treatment: he received electroshocks to his head and knees, he was given drinks with drugs, and he was denied medicine for the bleeding. On several occasions he was hung from metal hooks and beaten. Before being transferred, he was forced to sign a statement saying that he had not been subjected to torture. - Transfer to Bagram Airbase, Afghanistan (with stopover in another country, most probably Uzbekistan): his mouth was taped and he was shackled in a fetal position. During the flight, American soldiers applied electroshocks and beat him. - Bagram Airbase, Afghanistan: During this period, he was kept around six months in isolation and subjected to torture. At first he was hidden from the ICRC. However, after around one month, ICRC representatives came across him by chance and only then his family learned where he was being held. - Guantanamo Bay: During six months, he was subjected to a regime of sleep deprivation and frequently moved from one cell to another, which was called the “frequent flyer program.” He was interrogated several times by several people, including Americans, British and Indonesians. He was questioned about links with Al-Qaida and whether he knew of any plans for future terrorist acts. Mr. Madni was further told that, if he cooperated, he would be given medical assistance. Judicial proceedings: He was brought before the United States of America Combatant Status Review Tribunal. Date of release On 31 August 2008, he was taken to a plane where he remained shackled and not allowed to visit the bathroom. After several hours, the plane landed and he was transferred to another
