Malaysia helped CIA illegally detain Libyans, says report



KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 7 — Malaysia assisted the US Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) illegal detainee transfer programme by detaining two Libyans in 2004, a US-based NGO said in a report last Tuesday.

The Libyan couple was detained by Malaysian authorities for 13 days under “harsh conditions”, according to a report, titled “Globalising Torture: CIA Secret Detention and Extraordinary Rendition”, released by the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI).

“Malaysia detained and assisted in the extraordinary rendition of Libyan nationals Abu Abdullah al-Sadiq (Abdul Hakim Belhadj) and his wife Fatima Bouchar in 2004 in Kuala Lumpur airport,” said OSJI.
“Bouchar, who was four months’ pregnant at the time, was unable to get medical care,” it added.

OSJI defines “extraordinary rendition” as the illegal transfer of a detainee to a foreign government’s custody for the purposes of detention and interrogation.

The report quoted the CIA’s memorandum, dated March 4, 2004, to Libya as saying “[w]e are working energetically with the Malaysian government to effect the extradition of Abdullah al-Sadiq from Malaysia. The Malaysians have promised to co-operate and arrange for Sadiq’s transfer to our custody.”

OSJI said that torture was a hallmark of the CIA’s secret detention and extraordinary rendition programmes that were conducted outside the US.

“Secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations, designed to be conducted outside the United States under cover of secrecy, could not have been implemented without the active participation of foreign governments. These governments too must be held accountable,” said the report.

OSJI added that Sadiq and Bouchar were told that they could travel to the UK through Bangkok, Thailand, but were detained by Thai authorities upon arrival in Bangkok and subsequently abused by the CIA, after which they were extraordinarily rendered to Libya.

“Bouchar reported she was chained to a wall and not fed for five days, at a time when she was 4½ months; pregnant,” said the report.

The report also noted that two Malaysians — Mohamad Farik Amin and Mohammed Nazir Lep — were detained in Thailand in 2003.

“The US government confirmed in September 2006 that Farik was among 14 ‘high value detainees’ transferred from secret CIA detention to Guantánamo Bay,” said the report.

Nazir was apprehended on suspicion of being involved in the Marriott Hotel bombing in Jakarta and other plots against targets in Southeast Asia.

“According to an ICRC report on ‘high value’ detainees held in secret CIA detention, bin Lep alleged that he was held naked for three to four days in Thailand and nine days in Afghanistan, that he was denied any solid food for the first 11 days after his arrest, that he underwent seven days of prolonged stress standing in Afghanistan, and that he had to defecate and urinate on himself while standing,” said the report.

Both men remain imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay, according to the report.
