Mohammed el Gharani recovers his football skills

Safe in Chad after his ordeal at Guantánamo, Mohammed el Gharani is finally free to enjoy simple pleasures.

For over seven years, the teenage Mohammed was forced to practise his football in his tiny cage in Guantánamo Bay. As a result, he excels at skills like kick-up which don't require much room.

So it was wonderful to see him stretching his legs, sprinting across the ground and testing out some long passes, enjoying his freedom with his family in Chad.

After this video was taken we played a game of five-a-side, with Reprieve on one team and Mohammed and his family on the other. They thrashed us.

Mohammed el Gharani was sold for a bounty to American forces when he was fourteen years old, and wrongfully held in Guantánamo Bay for seven years.
