The Interview with Binyam Mohamed

Interesting, prominent people interviewed at length by the BBC.

Binyam Mohamed is just getting used to freedom after nearly seven years in detention -- four of them at the Guantanamo Bay.

During that time he was also held in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Morocco where he says he was tortured.

Born in Ethiopia, Binyam sought asylum in the UK and in 2001 he became a Muslim and travelled from Britain to Afghanistan.

He says he was there to visit a good Islamic country. The Americans say he was there as a terrorist.

This week on The Interview Binyam Mohammed tells his story to Jon Manel.
