A videotape of a prisoner being questioned at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp has been released for the first time. It shows sixteen-year-old Omar Khadr being asked by Canadian officials in 2003 about events leading up to his capture by US forces. Khadr, who is a Canadian citizen, is seen in a distressed state and complains he has been tortured.

Omar Khadr: “I can’t move my arms… I requested medical care a long time ago. You haven’t done anything about it.”

Canadian official: “No, I mean, they look they’re healing well to me. You know, I’m not a doctor, but I think you’re getting good medical care.”

Khadr: “No, I’m not. You’re not here. I lost my eyes. I lost my feet. Everything.”

Canadian official: “No, you still have your eyes, and your feet are still at the end of your legs, you know.”

The footage was made public by Khadr’s lawyers following a Canadian Supreme Court ruling in May that the Canadian government had to hand over key evidence against him to allow a full defense of the charges he is facing.
