Press TV Exclusive: First TV interview with Binyam Mohammed on The Agenda show, Thursday 2 April.
Torture victim, Binyam Mohammed has given his very first TV interview since his release from Guantanamo in February. In the interview with Press TV, he makes sensational claims about the plight of female detainees caught up in the war on terror.
His dramatic eyewitness account was aired this week on The Agenda, a lively political discussion show hosted by journalist Yvonne Ridley.
When President Obama took office in January, he promised his administration would be the most transparent in US history.
Yet, the British resident and former detainee reveals he is "one hundred per cent" convinced that a female detainee he saw during his captivity in Bagram prison is the elusive Dr Aafiya Siddiqui.
This contradicts the official position forwarded by the US Government that she and her children were not in US custody prior to July 2008.
Press TV’s robust investigations have eventually secured a major retraction from both the Pentagon and the Bagram media centre, after they were originally not so forthcoming.
Mohammed made the comment during a private screening of a Press TV documentary - In Search of Prisoner 650 - which premieres on Sunday, April 5, charting the investigation into the intriguing case of Aafiya Siddiqui.
The Agenda was broadcast on Thursday 2nd April at 9:06 GMT; and repeated on Friday, 3rd April at 1:06 GMT and 2:33 GMT.
