British resident, Binyam Mohamed, released from Guantanamo Bay prison after four years in captivity, has told how he was abducted, jailed and then tortured.
He's endured what he called medieval torture - but he says his lowest moment was realising that British intelligence officials conspired in his maltreatment.
Al Jazeera's Mark Seddon reports.
