ISLAMABAD, Dec. 11-- Pakistan on Thursday condemned the American CIA for torturing prisoners and called for respect to international laws while dealing with the prisoners.
The condemnation a day after a U.S. Senate Committee's report revealed the "brutal" CIA interrogation of al-Qaeda suspects.
"Pakistan deplores the systematic torture to detainees by CIA," the Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Tasnim Aslam said.
The 6,000-page report also found that the "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" program escaped effective scrutiny by outsiders long after its inception in 2002, with CIA records showing then President George W. Bush was never fully briefed by the agency on torturous interrogation techniques until 2006.
"The U.S. Senate Committee report reinforced what we have said all along that international humanitarian law must be respected while encountering international terrorism," the Pakistani spokesperson said at her weekly briefing.
The United States had also detained dozens of Pakistanis in the infamous Guantanamo Bay detention center and at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan.
A former Pakistani Guantanamo prisoner, Muhammad Sagheer, on Thursday recalled the mental agonies he had suffered at the hands of the U.S. military personnel at Guantanamo.
"They (U.S. soldiers) used to beat me during interrogation. They would not allow us to sleep for days. We had been kept at very short cells," Sagheer told Xinhua from his home district of Kohistan in northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province by the phone.
Emphasizing the need for transparency while dealing with the prisoners, the Pakistani spokesperson referred to assurances held out by U.S. administration at the highest level that this behavior would never be repeated.
