Khaled al-Sharif
From WikiAlpha
Khaled al-Sharif is a Libyan who was held for two years in a secret CIA black site, where captives were regularly tortured.[1] After interviewing him Human Rights Watch asserted he had offered a credible account that he had been waterboarded, even though he was not one of the three individuals the CIA has acknowledged they waterboarded.[2]
Although the CIA concluded the techniques they employed would not cause the victims any long term damage medical professionals who examined the torture survivors described extensive long term damage.[2]
