McClatchy News Service interview

On 15 June 2008, the McClatchy News Service published a series of articles based on interviews with 66 former Guantanamo captives. Alif Khan was one of the former captives who had an article profiling him.

Alif Khan told his McClatchy interviewer that he had to move to Kabul after his repatriation because his early release put him at risk from local Taliban in his home area. One of the human faces she chose was Alif Khan, an Afghan businessman who was arrested when the taxi he was riding in was stopped by local forces. Khan described his transportation to Guantanamo: "They put cuffs and tape on my hands, taped my eyes, they taped my ears. They gagged me. They put chains on my legs and chains around my belly. They injected me. I was unconscious. I don’t know how they transported me." White also described how Khan has struggled to rebuild his life after his release.
