...that we've kept you in prison for six years plus? Huzaita Parhat has been in Guantanamo since 2002, despite the fact that some officials recommended his release in 2003. Yesterday the appeals court ruled that Parhat was not an enemy combatant and he should be released, transferred or given a new hearing.
Parhat is a Uighur, which I had never heard of. He's from the western part of China and apparently the Uighurs have a beef against China so he's afraid to go back there as he may be tortured. It took nine months for us to find a place that would take five other Uighurs who were released earlier.
Another life ruined.
