Ex-Gitmo Prisoner Seeks Preservation of Abuse Photo

HeadlineJul 06, 2009

The former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Binyam Mohamed has filed a legal challenge seeking to prevent the destruction of evidence he says proved he was tortured in US custody. Mohamed says the government is facing a pending deadline to destroy an image taken of him shortly after he was beaten by several guards. The image is to be destroyed since Mohamed is no longer jailed, but Mohamed says he needs it toward his lawsuit against the US for unlawful incarceration.
