Ruhal Ahmed (also spelled Rhuhel Ahmed) (born 11 March 1981) is a British citizen who was detained without trial for over two years by the United States government, beginning in Afghanistan in 2001, and then in the United States Guantánamo Bay detention camp, Cuba. His Internment Serial Number was 110. Ahmed was returned to the United Kingdom in March 2004, where he was released the next day without charges. He was one of three British men, friends from Tipton, United Kingdom, who had been detained. They became known as the Tipton Three. In August 2004 Ahmed, Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal, they compiled and released a report on their abuses while in US custody. In ''Rasul v. Rumsfeld,'' the Tipton Three and Jamal Udeen Al-Harith, four former Guantánamo Bay internees, sued former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. They charge that illegal interrogation tactics were permitted to be used against them by Rumsfeld and the US military chain of command. The 2006 film, ''The Road to Guantánamo'' is a docu-drama by Michael Winterbottom depicting their account of their detention. ==Travel and detention== With his friends Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal, Ahmed in October 2001, weeks after the 9/11 attacks in the United States, traveled to Pakistan for a friend's wedding. While there, they went into Afghanistan and got caught when war broke out with US and allied bombings and attacks. They were captured by soldiers of the Northern Alliance and transferred to the custody of the US Army, as they had lost all their identification and luggage. They were detained there and transported to Guantanamo Bay detention camps on US territory in Cuba, where they were severely interrogated and treated as enemy combatants. 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「Ruhal Ahmed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
