Up to 38 people who may have been held in secret CIA prisons are missing, according to an American human rights group.
In a new report Human Rights Watch also detailed a terror suspect’s allegations that he was held for over two years at a so-called black site where he was kept naked for six weeks and chained to the wall of his cell so tightly that he could not stand up.
Marwan Jabour alleged he was placed in painful stress positions that made it difficult to breathe and was threatened with being put in a suffocating dog box if he did not co-operate.
Earlier in Pakistan, he told HRW, he had been beaten, burned with a hot metal rod and had string tied tightly to his penis to prevent him from urinating.
He said he was interrogated by Americans but that nobody physically abused him while they were present.
HRW has demanded that US President George Bush explain where the disappeared detainees have gone.
