I have finished the Mauritanian an hour ago. Knowing that this man was kept in those conditions for 14 years without trial, an innocent man entitled to all of life's freedoms and privileges, makes me value even the simplest things that I take for granted today. 2016 is not that long ago, this is a problem of today. Thank you Nancy Hollander and those involved in his release.
I’ve just come here after watching that film, blows my mind that the place is still open, poor man
it's horrible what happened to him, he seemed like a great guy when the movie ended.
A lot of the guys the U.S. Gov/contractors do this to are bad dudes that know valuable entel. I think brutal turore is one of many tools when gathering human enteligence, but it's value is greatly over stated on TV & by the media (interogation is more about making friends than sodomizing a guy with a taser most of the time).
@@franklanksworth2235 if it’s acceptable for Americans to do this to these men, do you think there wouldn’t be outrage if the same conditions were done against American soldiers etc.?
I think he got off easy, our intel know what they know for a reason. I don’t understand why there is Americans like this lady. I feel like she’s a terrorist herself
May he now enjoy a peaceful life.... I cannot even imagine the PTSD aftermath......
I can only imagine, how he felt when he close his eyes when he goes to sleep...
I feel sick to my stomach. As an American this makes me ashamed. The more I learn about this country as I get older makes me sick and disgusted. Guantanamo Bay needs to be shut down as soon as possible. America is such a joke.
What happened to taliban now I think they finished ☑️ I’m in 2024
He was released 8 days ago!! I almost cried when i heard the news :'(
Even now he still in guantanamo bay..
Ahmed Abdallahi He's not. Check the Wiki.
Yes, he's official out and I literally cried. Nobody deserves this torture, especially people who did literally nothing.
God bless him..
Brian Bobbi No he’s still alive ,check your resources 🙄
The world just watches.
And worse: Even continues to deny this harsh reality, like many other realities to.
HerzWatIThink Wrong, idiot, conspiracy nutcase. The most powerfull and influential family is a family named blackrock. And they don´t happen to be jews, but in fact germans. The president(who is not the owner btw, the Federal reserve bank belongs to the american state and the white house) is william c. dudley, a german american once again, bernanke, the jew in this, is merely a chief deputy. However even so, dudlely does not own the federal reserve because no one does as said. And other like rupert murdoch have falsely been accused as jews although not beeing one. There is a god site, called "jew or not jew?" that in fact did an intense family research to figure out who is exactly a jew or not. I hate zionism, but hate nazi conspiracy just as much. So why don´t you go suck some aryan dick now? Question: Do you have a brain? Like all nazis and racists you don´t of course. And now go suck an aryans dick seriously.
majed fazeli ;) you say it like we're gonna ask someone's permission when we run shit. Son, daddy don't need your permission bahahaha
Its alright we are alone we got our back.
His mom and family never seen him after that day 😞
A truly powerful video that hits you hard in both the heart and mind. If you watch just one video this week, please let it be this one. "Mohamedou has never been charged with a crime. He's been in Guantánamo now 14 years. It's not that they haven't found the evidence against him; There isn't any evidence against him." - Nancy Hollander (Mohamedou Ould Slahi's attorney)
US government got no ball. they need to replace it with dog's ball.
turn to Christ and forsake your sins
Well that's the game you all like to play with people.
Is there any update on how he is doing or where he is? ❤
How can the "land of the free" operate a gulag?
That’s not a gulag. A gulag is a work camp. Guantanamo is very... different.
Because our nation was build on hypocrisy. Just like when we had slavery while “all men are created equal”. This country is a sham
@@pathutchison9866 Then leave
@ where to? we all want to reform our nation. we all love america.
@Gunter Ringgenberg i will never abandon my country and i will never let democracy die.
Now imagine if it were Russia who had been doing this. The world would be chewing nukes
Exactly but this is USA 🇺🇸 there is nothing wrong with.....
It’s happening in Russia and China, but the people there can hide the concentration camps better.
@@indeed.9101 It's because people don't have a bad perception of USA...
Do you understand the false on your logic? The law and the constitution work in America not in Russia. It took time but worked.
Russia did this already. You forget the Soviet Union? North Korea does too. Kind of like how Russia has launched an unjust war on Ukraine bombing childrens hospitals and they have even flown a plane into a building in Ukraine. KINDA like how Russia is threatening Nuclear warfare and commiting war crimes??
This was intense! I can't imagine going through that....Why the fuck has no one tried to stop the USA from torturing people?
because r establishments agree with it we need a resetting of politics
I was talking about non-Americans stopping them, like Canada or England calling them on their war crimes!
Uncle Gabe Apologies.
+Keatrith Amakiir Nobody has the power to stop it.
Logic Over Emotions, Let's Chat The USA is so dependent on foreign relations and trade that if people actually imposed sanctions to force a war crimes tribunal the USA would either have to bomb half the world or capitulate.....50/50 chance :P
It is very heart breaking..
My mother bought a book about Guantanamo, written by Moazzam Begg, an ex-prisoner of Guantanamo. It was 8 years ago and I still can't read it.
Why?
@@user-zf9gd5tp9m its horrifying
imagine if it were Iran who had been doing this to an innocent us citizen . The world would be chewing nukes ,i guess we are not all equal after all
iran does more than this much much more than this don’t compare iran with anywhere in world
@@vafakalbasi6707 true most think that Iran is innocent & peacefull but they get it wrong!
@@slowmotion3542 usa is no better
Atleast faaar better than USA
@@vafakalbasi6707 please give examples
Becoming a museum or a housing complex are the only justifiable reasons I can think of that GITMO shouldn't be burned to the ground!
just watched the movie. i cried :'(
What's the name of the movie?

Well this sound like the stasi prison in Berlin but worse. They basically use the same techniques.
Just saw the movie. Incredible story
Thanks for the video.
May God forgive us all. Aameen
Why? Everything is under his perfect and divine plan? no?
He wouldn’t
they will never be forgiven
@@Noa...... I'm wondering where you see the contradiction
@@beagruy2386😂😂😂😂😂
Wow 8 minutes flew by extremly fast...
Brilliant film and Jodie Foster was perfect 👌
sad to see these people are in jail without any charge !! and fcking criminals even after getting charged are roaming outside
Thank you for English subscription.
sometimes you have to sever the arm to save the body. a paradox most ppl can't fathom
True
Nice clip 👌 👍
I just have no words...
You just commented using 5. Go back to sleep.
Maybe we can close this & use our tax money for more important things, like I don't know.. EDUCATION
or quit welfare for dumbasses yelling for $15hr
Angela Isley loser
Maybe let's keep it and keep the terrorist locked up.
You are on to something. Yeah i agree.
Sure let out terrorists XD He was in Al Quaida he said so. He is dumb dumb. His fault
A fundamental parts of the story are missing. Why do they continue to be held? Who has the authority to release them?
Why do they continue to be held? No reason and they don't need one.
they could be released by a fisa court (foreign intel and surveillance) but they wont be released for the same reason those documents are so heavily redacted we (im american) fucked them up using a massive plethora of torture techniques running the gamut of offending every primitive human sense. so since we fucked them so badly, they would be used as anti-american propaganda. and i know they already are being used for propaganda im not the one to talk to about it anyway
Minister of Propoganda II I've wondered about ...you know, continuing to detain someone wrongly accused so they can't make their story known.
Mark Ferguson I think we know there is no good reason, but there should be some explanation of how this came about. The legality of permanent detention without charge is very questionable. But regardless, it's hard to imagine something more contrary to US founding principles, the US Constitution and American values than that.
David J Gill the legality was made possible thanks to a bill called the "NDAA" which in so many words claims enemy combatants can be detained as long as they are deemed a threat. that in the hands of a kangaroo court is exactly what orwell had in mind
History will remember what america has done.
Guilty or not, it doesn't matter. The point is to start dehumanizing people. The point of torture is torture.
This is just shocking now knowing the truth. This man should be released immediately.
He was released from gitmo but is in Mauretania and can't leave that country
@@Amy-dk3of He shouldn't be allowed to. He's a serious threat. Radical extremist.
Im mauritanian and his out and im proud
There is a One,who see everything,and people,state,.....one day they will pay.......for the things they did to the world!! Amin

So I literally have 8 full plants sitting in flower beds on my porch, The Picture of the Spikey Seed Pod, are known by many names, but we usually call it Mad Apples, or Moon Flowers. They very Hearty plants, and will regrow each year. They produce a flower, it's a large Trumpet flower average length of 8" to 10", mine are always whitish, with a slight lavender color, they bloom only at night and after they Bloom they produce a seed Pod, that's about the size of a ping pong ball, and is covered with sharp spines,
There Is a mechanism in nature to settle scores. To level.The curse of the oppressed is radioactive and has a powerful effect on the Earth. With a combination of negative cosmic energy , everything else in the universe is interlinked. Nothing can escape justice. This is the nature's way of making sure existence and survival continues. It is a very very high frontier of Science and we can surely say Man will learn of it. But too late. This is Not religious mambo jambo. This is Pure knowledge
What kind of disgusting dictatorship would allow to keep in jail a person without trial or accusations??
The US government has to many faults like this one.
Mohamadou is actually one of the least tortured detainees in Guantanamo
😭😭😭 sorry brother
True face of America!
faridfc007 what's that supost to mean?
Obamas CIA .. it was his face, not America.
@ Pick up a history book
Forgive us.
Its againest the Humanity......How much the prisioners bear essentially they are also human beings ......Please stop this Inhumane practice .
I hope great lawyer like Nancy would also represent Aafia Siddique
Guantánamo is still operational
Se eu lesse o livro desse preso e Deus permitisse eu saberia o que os Estados Unidos querem esconder.Deus já me mostrou tanta coisa que aos olhos humanos são coisas absurdas e sem compreensão que se o Sol batesse na porta do meu quarto, eu daria bom dia para ele e o mandaria entrar e ficar à vontade.
No country is pure, we can only act like it is
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
أرض الحرية ؟ كيف ؟
I am here because i had read about Guantanamo bay in my civics book .
Unlimited power and control is very dangerous!!
My thoughts exactly 👍🏼
It’s so amazing that something as simple as a small steel box can be so effective as a weapon??? Be it GITMO or ur county jail. Or even your local dog pound. The box breaks every one every time. The box.
Now imagine where we would be if someone was able to program your mind subconsciously and place it in a “box”?
america you attack the wrong enemy.
mini gun1991 I no right I was leader of a country I would use all my nukes in America to wipe out America and kill the evil peoples

I saw the “ Mauritanian “ last night I’m shocked!
Let us increase public knowledge and average education to stop more people from believing these political lies. We need an army of lawyers
So his country gave him up? When police came to him they took him from his own country?
we human beings are so bad
Release all innocent prisoners.
Watching the redactions and tortures makes me have lower opinions with America.
He could sue the government for 10s of millions
Isaac Cupp iö
Military complex? in US? what do you think
Former Gitmo prisoners have already tried. No courts would agree to hear their case, not even the SCOTUS.
Yes gentlemans they took innocent people
Terrorists calling other people terrorists is the most American thing to do
While we need National security this is an atrocious act and flus in the face of our constitution on due process
What is it they want to hear?
Nothing. No charges and false charges are their norm. They have been doing it to native Americans, black Americans, why not middle easterns? The USA has been consistent in their conduct.
And my homie Snowden would of been there
Rort - Smartass
Well, what happened to him now?!?!
he is now detained in his country and he is verry sick
@@mdsalemhoubeini5430 Where can we get more information about him, what's wrong with his health?
Hope he is ok
He is okey now I am from his country and i think that hollywood is creating a movie about his story now

Yet they talk about Chinese detention camps in Xinjiang with No shame
Its mohamed old slahi the insnte

Are you insane?? What if you get falsely convicted and sent to prison similar to Guantanamo? Would you like it??
R we all going to just ignore the end lol I'm i high or did this guy think he was a piece of corn
abide by the rules nations security tools nation not of fools
You must be a demon-crat🤷
When will the common people of " Civilized society " of Western world ask their government about this inhumane behavior.
They won't because they are thought that those people deserve it.
Why would anyone dislike this
Justice for targeted individuals
There is no shame with what was done to prisoners at Gautanamo. Will there be redemption for those who kidnapped innocent people. I don't think so.
Ah yes land of freedom, full of lies and hypocracy
Muhammadu is son of my country 🇲🇷 My government wronged him before the United States wronged him

Not gonna happen
A connection? The white nationalist movement has embraced increasingly extreme rhetoric in 2019. Some in the movement openly advocate violence and terrorism as a way to precipitate a race war. This growing wing refers to itself as “accelerationist.” At the same time, image-conscious groups like the American Identity Movement (AIM)-which refer to themselves as the “dissident right”-spent much of 2019 trying to distance themselves from the more extreme elements within the movement. Patrick Casey, AIM’s leader, accused violence-obsessed white nationalists of having a “dead brand.” He and the like-minded among him have encouraged members of the movement to put their energy toward dismantling the conservative establishment and bending the mainstream political right toward white nationalist ideas.
I'm sure they just grabbed him and placed him there randomly with no reason at all. Seems legit.
was al qaeda... he left a long before 911 and he was trained bu the c- fucking-ia. because al qaeda was paid for and trained by americans to fight soviets in afghanistan.
Doesn't sound outlandish, it's just plain stupid what you said lol Hey look an article from some random journalist from the Washington post on prisoners being cleared for release.. Another random article from some journalist saying most are innocent...must be true...you have very credible sources now don't you..lol
Mate why are you even trying, most probably this fella salutes the American flag every morning and recites the pledge of allegiance... Does not make him evil or stupid. Just blind to the facts of broader earth.
You give him facts and he scoffs. Well OK mate. Fine. You guys are the good guys and you never tortured anyone. Best of luck
Karasutengu Where are your facts from a journalist? Let's get to the bottom of it, since you seem to be so certain and all knowing on the subject. What is your solid evidence of mal-practice?
