Dr. Hikmat Nafi Shaukat was held in the Central Intelligence Agency's network of black sites.[1] He was seized, in Quetta, Pakistan, on October 16, 2002, by a combined force of Pakistani and US officials.[2][3]
In December 2014 the United States Senate Intelligence Committee released an unclassified summary of its huge report on the CIA's use of torture, which confirmed Shaukat had been held in CIA custody.[4] The Senate report concluded he had been illegally subjected to torture without authorization from CIA headquarters. The Senate report concluded that Shaukat had never been part of al Qaida, he had merely once been neighbors with individuals who later may have joined al Qaida.
The CIA captured him in 2002, and held Shaukat for about two months.[5] The CIA subjected Shaukat to a "regime of sleep deprivation". The CIA quickly confirmed he didn't merit suspicion of playing a role in terrorism himself -- merely of being a former neighbor of suspects.[4][1] He remained in custody even after his innocence was established.
The Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA's use of torture characterized Shaukat as an individual who had been subjected to the "enhanced interrogation techniques" critics consider equivalent to torture, even though the CIA's political masters had turned down requests to use those techniques.
Newsline magazine reported that four men were seized, a week or so after Shaukat was seized, based on coercive interrogation techniques were applied to him.[3] They said he had been seized because officials were curious as to whether he may have treated al Qaeda or Taliban leaders, fleeing the US invasion of nearby Afghanistan.
