Alex Gibney’s ‘The Ceaselessly Prisoner’ reveals CIA torture ways

Alex Gibney’s ‘The Ceaselessly Prisoner’ reveals CIA torture ways

Amna Nawaz:

Abu Zubaydah was the primary high-value detainee subjected to the CIA’s program of enhanced interrogation methods, practices denounced as torture each right here within the U.S. and around the globe.

After being captured in a firefight in Pakistan in 2002, Zubaydah was shuttled amongst so-called black websites, secret prisons run by the CIA everywhere in the world. He has by no means been charged with a criminal offense, however for the previous 20 years has remained imprisoned, largely at Guantanamo Bay, whereas a crew of attorneys fights for his launch.

A brand new documentary known as “The Ceaselessly Prisoner” explores the story of Abu Zubaydah and U.S. actions within the identify of nationwide safety.

The filmmaker behind it’s Academy Award-winner Alex Gibney. And he joins me now.

Welcome to the “NewsHour.” Thanks for being right here.

Alex Gibney, Filmmaker, “The Ceaselessly Prisoner”: Thanks. Glad to be right here.
