Gul Rahman (died 20 November 2002) was a suspected Afghan militant and torture victim. He died in a secret CIA prison, or black site, located in northern Kabul, Afghanistan and known as the Salt Pit.〔〔 (mirror )〕 He had been captured October 29, 2002.〔(mirror )〕〔 His name was kept secret by the United States for more than seven years although his death was announced. In 2010 the Associated Press reported that before his death he was left half-stripped and chained against a concrete wall on a night when the temperature was close to freezing.〔 The United States government did not notify his family (wife and four daughters) of his death, according to the report.〔 ==Capture and death== Gul Rahman was captured and arrested on 29 October 2002 during a joint operation by U.S. agents and Pakistani security forces against Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin. He was reportedly arrested with the physician Ghairat Baheer, the son-in-law of the warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who leads the insurgent faction Hezb-e-Islami.〔 Rahman had traveled from Peshawar to Islamabad, Pakistan for a medical checkup when he was arrested at the home of Ghairat Baheer, and subsequently flown by the CIA to Afghanistan.〔 U.S. officials claim Rahman was "violently uncooperative" while in custody at the Salt Pit, the CIA code name for an abandoned brick factory that had been turned into a CIA black site or covert interrogation center.,〔 including threatening to kill his guards - who responded by beating him, according to several former Central Intelligence Agency officials.〔 Rahman was also subjected to "48 hours of sleep deprivation, auditory overload, total darkness, isolation, a cold shower and rough treatment".〔 Gul Rahman reportedly died on 20 November 2002 after being stripped naked from the waist down and shackled to a cold cement wall in the Salt Pit, where temperatures were approximately 36° Fahrenheit/2° Celsius.〔(mirror )〕 His death prompted an internal CIA review and the development of improved guidance.〔 No one was ever charged in his death.〔 After Rahman was identified in news accounts in April 2010, his family asked the International Red Cross for assistance in recovering his body for a religious burial. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gul Rahman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
