Al-Qurani said he has been subjected to ill-treatment almost every day
An inmate in the US prison facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has told Al Jazeera that he has been beaten while in custody and had tear gas used on him after refusing to leave his cell.
Mohammad al-Qurani, a Chadian national, said in a phone call to Al Jazeera that the alleged ill-treatment "started about 20 days" before Barack Obama became US president and "since then I've been subjected to it almost every day".
"Since Obama took charge he has not shown us that anything will change," he said.
On his second day in office, Obama ordered the closure of the prison, which has been heavily criticised by rights groups over reports of ill-treatment of detainees.
Obama also signed an order ending the harsh interrogation of prisoners - including the waterboarding technique that causes detainees to feel like they are drowning.
The prison camp was set up by the Bush administration in 2002 to hold prisoners it detained as part of its so-called war on terror.
Several hundred detainees have since been released

Not enough shipmates, turn to and apply "ill-treatment" every evening and night too!
Send him to an American prison and he’ll see some abuse. Heh. He’ll be the wife.......
What would this Muslim propose that the guards at Guantonomo do when he refuses to leave his cell? We all know that they crap themselves and throw it at the troops ,why should troops put up with this crap. A bullet between this terrorists eyes would solve a lot of the problems at Guantonomo as those prisoners know the limits of the troops. take away those limits and discipline will rapidly improve.
How does Al-Jezeera get access to GITMO?
He’ll be the wife.......
Trouble is he might like that!
Pregnant women accuses husband of having sex with her!
Sun rises in East!
Rain is wet!
I think this is a job for Capt. Obvious. Al-qaeda’s playbook calls for detainees to make false claims of maltreatment.
I truly wish the troops would just gas all those vermin and be done with it.
Interesting statement. Is Mr. Obama:
A: Making things worse on the prisoners or
B: Is this a backdoor way to malign the military?
“so-called war on terror.”
Has al-Jazeera been taking talking points from the dems, or vice-versa? They seem to speak the same language.
He'll be a hero. Most Muslims in this country are recruited and converted in prisons.
Rag-head propaganda, straight out of the Al-Q playbook.
Pure BS.
I know this for a fact, having been to GTMO 8 times in the past 3 years.
Always ironic when a terrorist complains about bad treatment. Compared to what?
Sounds like he voted for that one. I notice waterboarding has been upgraded from torture to "harsh interrogation".
This is in the Al Qaeda handbook:

Friends "detained" inside?
Al-Qurani said he has been subjected to ill-treatment almost every day
Boo! Hoo!.......
I read elsewhere that he had called a “vetted” number for a relative and someone from AJ was at the house/picked up the phone.

Crazy. Were they not doing real time monitoring of the call? It could have been an AQ cell member on the other line 0_0
In an American prison, he’d be bending over toward Mecca five times a day. And then toward Cleveland. And then Houston. And Miami. And...
