In the aftermath of the United States’ “war on terror,” a dark shadow still hangs over Afghanistan in the form of the notorious Bagram Air Base. Thousands of individuals, including Moazzam Begg, were detained at this facility for years without being charged or receiving a trial.
In a powerful and emotional journey, former Bagram and Guantanamo detainee Moazzam Begg returns to this haunting place for the first time in over 20 years. He recalls the terrible abuses that took place within the walls of Bagram, abuses that continue to torment him to this day.
Begg’s story sheds light on the lasting impact of the injustices carried out during the “war on terror.” His return to Bagram serves as a powerful reminder of the dark chapter in history that continues to haunt Afghanistan and its people.
