McClatchy News Service interview
On June 15, 2008 the McClatchy News Service published a series of articles based on interviews with 66 former Guantanamo captives.[3] Israr ul Haq was one of thee former captives who had an article profiling him.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
Israr ul Haq told his interviewer he had traveled to Afghanistan in August 2001 because he had health problems and it had been recommended to him that a religious pilgrimage to shrines in Afghanistan would help his health.[9]
He described beating at both the US Kandahar detention facility and the Bagram Theater Internment Facility.[9] He said he had witnessed Koran desecration in Guantanamo.
Israr ul Haq reported that the American interrogators were routinely dishonest with the captives[9]:
- "They said the person in the cage next to me said he saw me with al Qaida or Taliban leaders. But the interrogators were lying; no one had told them that. They lied to everybody. They told the men next to me that I had said they were in this battle or that one; but we talked with each other in our cages and realized they were making all of this up."
