Ali Shallal al-Qaisi (Arabic: علي شلال القیسي) is an Iraqi who was captured in United States custody during CIA interrogation at Abu Ghraib Prison in 2003. His name became known in 2004 when the Abu Ghraib scandal made news.[1][2]
al-Qaisi said: "I'm spending sleepless nights thinking about the agony I went through,"
"I even have recurring nightmares that I'm in my cell at Abu Ghraib, cell 49 as they called it, being tortured at the hands of the people of a great nation that carries the torch of freedom and human rights," he said.[3]
