Murat Kurnaz, a Turkish national born and raised in Germany, was sold into the hands of torturers for $3,000 by Pakistani bounty hunters in late 2001. Only 19 years old at the time, he was detained in Kandahar military base in Afghanistan before being transferred to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. After five years of abuse and detention, Murat was released from Guantanamo in 2006. He spoke to Moazzam Begg, former Guantanamo detainee and spokesman to Cageprisoners, on his recent trip to the UK in May 2008 to promote his book, Five Years of My Life.
