Guantanamo Bay Detainee Meets Immigration Detainee I The Gap I LADbible

Feb 04 2021

The Gap is a window into different lives and different generations. Two people, from different age groups, discuss a shared experience that impacted their lives, how it affected them and how they dealt with it to ultimately emerge stronger. In this episode, Moazzam Begg (51) and Emmanual Samson (27) compare their experiences of being detained without trial. Moazzam Begg was seized by the CIA in his home in Afghanistan, before being detained in the Bagram Theatre Internment Facility and the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp in Cuba for nearly three years. Emmanuel spent 90 days detained in an Immigration Centre, fearing every day that he was about to be deported to Nigeria, a place he hadn’t seen since he was 13 years old. #LADbible #UNILAD
