The story of Sherif El-Meshad, a forgotten Italian resident in Guantánamo Bay
In 1997, Sherif El-Meshad, who was born in Egypt in 1976, travelled to Italy, where he registered as an Italian resident and stayed in Como with his maternal uncle, who had been living in Italy for 30 years and is an Italian citizen. In 2001, following a summer vacation in Afghanistan, Sherif El-Meshad is arrested attempting to return to Italy via Afghanistan. He spent three weeks in a Pakistani prison in Peshawar, and was then flown to the US prison at Kandahar airport, where he spent another five months before being transferred to Guantánamo.
