Human Rights Watch has published a report alleging that there were numerous irregularities in the prosecution of two former Guantanamo Bay detainees accused of participating in militant groups in Afghanistan and extradited to Russia in February 2004. According to HRW, they were forced to confess to blowing up a gas pipeline in Tatarstan by torturing and threatening the pregnant wife of one of the prisoners. The main goal of the document is to force the American authorities to think about the safety of former prisoners and the advisability of their extradition.
