At the age of eighteen, Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghani warlords and sold to the CIA.

Despite the fact that he was a teenager from Yemen, his abductors convinced American intelligence agents that he was a middle-aged Egyptian recruitment officer for Al Qaeda. Mansoor was held first at a secret CIA black site, was then moved to Kandahar Prison, and finally was transferred to Guantánamo Bay, where he was tortured and humiliated for fourteen years.

This is the first of a two-part edition of Remarkable Stories.
