Marwan Jabour

Marwan Jabour is a former captive held in the CIA's network of black sites. He was raised in Saudi Arabia by his Palestinian guest worker parents. He moved to Pakistan for study, in 1994.

The Washington Post interviewed Mawrwan Jabour at his home in Pakistan, after his release. Marwan Jabour told Human Rights Watch that he was beaten during the six weeks he spent in Pakistani custody. He said a friend he was visiting, and another guest, were taken into Pakistani custody at the same time he was. He told Human Rights Watch none of the men, women and children he helped were affiliated with Al Qaida.

Other techniques Marwan Jabour described experiencing included sleep deprivation, stress positions, enforced nudity, the administration of psychoactive drugs and having a rubber cord tied around his penis so he could not urinate. According to Gimigliano the CIA's program of secret extrajudicial detention and use of extended interrogation techniques was: "...with great care and close review, producing vital information that has helped disrupt plots and save lives." "...another key, lawful tool in the fight against terror." "The United States does not conduct or condone torture, nor does it transfer anyone to other countries for the purpose of torture."
