Juma Mohammed Al Dossary, Former detainee Guantanamo Bay

 

Juma Al Dossary
Juma Mohammed Al Dossary was held for five and a half years in Guantanamo Bay.

He was released without charge a year ago and returned to Saudi Arabia where he was born.

He tells Owen Bennett-Jones how he survived Guantanamo -- through beatings and freezing cells -- and of the surprising kindness of a few guards who kept his faith in humanity alive.

And he tells of the new life he is carving out for himself in Saudi Arabia -- which includes getting married seven weeks ago.

 Listen to the programme.

First broadcast 27th June 2008
