Indian detained for boxcutter alleges psychological torture

Hyderabad, India - An Indian man who was cleared of involvement in the Sept. 11 terror attacks has returned home, alleging sleep deprivation, unhealthy food and solitary confinement during his 15 months of detention in New York.

Syed Gul Mohammed Shah, 36, was one of two Muslim men from the southern Indian city of Hyderabad who were detained on Sept. 12 in Texas because they were carrying boxcutters, lots of cash and had been on a flight that was grounded in the wake of the terror attacks.

In an interview at his home on Wednesday, after he was deported upon conviction of credit card fraud, Shah said he was kept in solitary confinement for 12 months and was subjected to psychological torture at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn....

Are we supposed to feel bad about the credit credit theif with the box cutters, loads of cash and had been on a grounded flight on 9/l1?

Shah now faces charges in Hyderabad for using a fictitious name and age to get a passport.

Oh, how this saint of Allah has suffered. May he suffer much more back home in good old India, that well known paradise.

I feel real sorry for this guy. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time, buddy.

Shah now faces charges in Hyderabad for using a fictitious name and age to get a passport. He paid a bail bond when he arrived home.

BOO. Hoo. hoo.

Somehow, I think that when he's done serving time in a Hindu gaol he'll look back fondly on his lock up in Brooklyn as the "Good Old Days."
