Omar Deghayes:
Abu Baker Deghayes’ brother Omar has been in Guantanamo Bay prison for five years. The Irish Anti War Movement has organised a tour of meetings next week where Abu Baker will speak about the illegal kidnapping, detention and torture of his brother Omar Deghayes.

Omar and his family left Libya 1986 after his father, a democrat and trade unionist,
was assassinated by Colonel Gaddafi's regime. In 2001 Omar travelled to Afghanistan
where he met and married his wife and had a son. When war broke out they moved to
Pakistan. Omar was arrested by bounty-hunters and sold to the US Military. The only
"evidence" for his arrest was a video from the Spanish authorities
allegedly showing Omar. But experts have confirmed that the person in the video
isn't Omar. While in prison Omar was tortured using pepper spray in his eyes, so
much was used that he is now completely blind in one eye. The US authorities also
allowed Libyan interrogators to interview him. They threatened him, saying, "In
here I cannot do anything, but if I meet you later I will kill you”.
