His words to French President Nicolas Sarkozy:

"I have spent over eight years in this prison without any charges being brought against me. Despite this, the American courts have done nothing to stop the US administration from sending me wherever they want, without any consideration given to the fate awaiting me there.

Having spent so long in such an isolating place, I do not want to find myself alone again, in a position where I must beg for charity. The most important thing to me is dignity. My dignity has been taken away from me during the eight years that I have been imprisoned, suffering so many abuses that I do not even wish to discuss. Today I need your help to get it back."
