• Missing person with a name - this is not a horror movie

  BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Detainee's son handed to Pakistan

  It was not immediately clear if the boy - who was named in documentation in Afghanistan as Ali Hassan - would be returned to his family in Pakistan.

  Lawyers of this American citizen - a PhD and MIT graduate and daughter of a British Pakistani doctor - say that she has been detained in secret US jails for the past five years.
  
  The closest any of the Western media comes to admitting to the death of one of her children in US-proxy custody is this BBC article, which reads in the very last line, 'Her five-year old daughter is still believed to be in Afghan custody, while Dr Siddiqui's says her other son has died.'
  
  
  '''Britain’s Lord Nazeer Ahmed asked questions in the House of Lords about the condition of “Prisoner 650”. He said she is physically tortured and continuously raped by the officers at the prison.
  
  “She is subjected to physical and sexual torture by American troops in the jail,” Urdu-language newspaper Jang reported.'
