During an October 2021 hearing at Camp Justice, at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba: “…Majid Khan, 41, became the first former prisoner of the black sites to openly describe, anywhere, the violent and cruel ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ that agents used to extract information and confessions from terrorism suspects…He expressed remorse for hurting people through his embrace of radical Islam and Al Qaeda, but also found a way around a labyrinth of U.S. intelligence classifications to realize a decade-long ambition to tell the world what U.S. agents had done to him….Mr. Khan gained attention with the release of a 2014 study of the C.I.A. program by the Senate Intelligence Committee that said, after he refused to eat, his captors ‘infused’ a purée of his lunch through his anus. The C.I.A. called it rectal refeeding. Mr. Khan called it rape.”
