Andrew Motion, poet laureate, discusses the work of Abdur Rahim Muslim Dost. Muslim Dost, an Afghan national, was released from Guantánamo in 2005, and returned to Pakistan.

In October 2006, shortly after he and his brother published a memoir of their Guantánamo detention, he was again arrested by Pakistani intelligence and for several months he was disappeared. He has now been located in a Pakistani jail.

  • did you get any poems from the people dying in the ruble under the towers when they fell oh thats right they were dead or dying no one to cry out to no help going to be able to get to them just darkness and death. give me a break they are prisoners of war and they wll be treated like that. you make america look weak and we are not tolerant of people killing americans so they will rot down there until this war is over so deal with it. they do not get the same rights as you and me. Open forever!

  • What? They didn't think this through? Their just going to let them out?

    Guantánamo isn't a normal prison. Teenages have been held there and tortured without a trial and often those people are innocent.

    If people want to defend justice or freedom then they should repect it and obey it rather then put people in cages.

    Maybe you should look at AI and see what it's about before you say they're a corrupt and hypocracy group.

  • But some of the world's deadliest killers are imprisoned there.If they are released,will this gentleman take responsibility for their terror acts?Why Amnesty failed to respond to Bombay terror attacks.Amnesty is hypocracy and an appendage of muslim terrorist organisations.Probably receiving Saudi funds.
