Interview with Ruhal Ahmed by Laura Poitras in 2010
Ruhal Ahmed (also spelled Rhuhel Ahmed) (born 3 November 1981)[1] is a British citizen who was detained without trial for over two years by the United States government, beginning in Afghanistan in 2001, and then in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. His Internment Serial Number was 110. Ahmed was returned to the United Kingdom in March 2004, where he was released the next day without charges.[2]
He was one of three British men, friends from Tipton, United Kingdom, who had been detained. They became known as the Tipton Three. In August 2004, Ahmed, Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal compiled and released a report on their abuses while in US custody.[3]
In Rasul v. Rumsfeld, the Tipton Three and Jamal Udeen Al-Harith, four former Guantánamo Bay internees, sued former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. They charge that illegal interrogation tactics were permitted to be used against them by Rumsfeld and the US military chain of command.
The 2006 film, The Road to Guantánamo, is a docu-drama by Michael Winterbottom depicting their account of their detention.
Ahmed was refused a visa by Australia to travel there to promote the film.[4]
