• Detained Kanda­har spare-parts dealer Hamidul­lah • Describ­ing the scary situa­tion he faced when he was held at a secret prison at the Bagram Air Base. Hamidul­lah, who doesn’t use a last name, faced a window­less concrete cell lit by a single light bulb and twice-daily inter­ro­ga­tion sessions – the only contact he had with the outside world.
