A Guantanamo Bay prisoner and accused 9/11 planner has been ruled incompetent for trial after he underwent the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques for four years.
Ramzi bin al-Shibh, an accused 9/11 planner being held at Guantanamo Bay, has been ruled unfit to stand trial because he has bene diagnosed with PTSD and secondary psychosis.
The medical panel diagnosed Al-Shibh with PTSD and secondary psychosis last month. His defense attorney David Bruck said his best chance of being able to stand trial would be to undergo PTSD treatment. While in CIA custody for four years after he was arrested in 2002, Al-Shibh was sometimes made to stand for up to three days at a time wearing nothing but a diaper and was doused with cold water in air-conditioned rooms.
The medical panel found that Al-Shibh’s psychosis includes his false belief that his Guantanamo guards are attacking him with invisible rays to keep him from sleeping, which it connected to his CIA detention. Defense attorneys and a U.N.-appointed investigator for the five defendants have argued they should have received physical and psychological treatment for after their CIA detention.
