Mohamedou Ould Slahi: What is the Guantanamo legacy?
Guantanamo Bay prison is still operational. Forty inmates are left; most have been held for nearly two decades without being charged or tried. What is the Guantanamo legacy?
Stephen Sackur interviews Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a Mauritanian citizen who was once identified as a high value al-Qaeda terrorist, serving 14 years in America’s Guantanamo Bay prison. He was eventually released without charge, and now a film, The Mauritanian, has been released telling this remarkable story. What is the Guantanamo Bay legacy?
