User:Geo Swan/Mohammed Abdullah Saleh al-Asad

Mohammed Abdullah Saleh al-Asad was a citizen of Yemen who spent several years in extrajudicial detention in CIA black sites.

In December, 2014, the United States Senate Intelligence Committee released a 600 page summary of a massive analysis of the CIA's use of torture. According to Newsweek magazine, the report was the first time the USA had officially acknowledged that al-Asad was held, and treated abusively, by the CIA. Newsweek described al-Asad as being "wrongfully detained".

Al-Asad died in May, 2016.
