| | N.Y. Palestinian activist freed from U.S. prison nightmare |
 | | Farouk is a stateless Palestinian born in 1947 in Ramallah in the West Bank. |
 | | No "terrorism" charges were ever brought against Farouk, but from the moment of his arrest, he refused to cooperate in any way with the Bush administration's thought police. |
 | | Farouk, 56 years old, told me, "The physical torture and psychological torture created thyroid problems, gastritis, arthritis, and high blood pressure, which originated with the torture." Proper medical care, even after beatings, was consistently denied, he said. |
