Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, one of five 9/11 defendants at the military commission trial at Guantánamo, told the judge that problems with the food amounted to torture by the military guards.

 In this sketch by courtroom artist Janet Hamlin, accused 9/11 co-conspirator Ramzi bin al Shibh (r.) confers with legal counsel during a pre-trail hearing at the U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, August 19. 
  
 In a strange twist in an increasingly unusual case, a defendant in the 9/11 military commission trial at Guantánamo suddenly asked midway through a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday to be taken back to his cell after complaining of being subjected to “psychological torture” by military guards. 
  
 Ramzi Bin al-Shibh asked the judge to be returned to the terror detention camp rather than remain in the courtroom for the rest of the day’s proceeding. 
  
 The judge, US Army Col. James Pohl, asked the defendant whether he was voluntarily waiving his right to be present during the hearing. 
  
 “I cannot remain here,” Mr. Bin al-Shibh told the judge in open court. “There are problems with the food that was provided.” 
  
 He said he was experiencing a “daily problem” with food and that when he had meetings with his lawyers during the lunch hour sometimes he was not provided any lunch at all. 
  
 “This is one sort of psychological torture,” he said. “They cause problems (between) me and the guards on a daily basis,” he said through an Arabic translator. He added that it was not just a problem for him but for “the brothers as well,” referring to his co-defendants in the case. 
  
 The strange action came on the second day of a weeklong series of hearings addressing a range of pre-trial legal issues in the military commission trial of alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Mr. Bin Al-Shibh, and three others at the US Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. 
  
 The hearings are being monitored by news reporters at Guantánamo and via a live video feed at Fort Meade, Md. 
  
 Bin al-Shibh was the only defendant of the five who chose to attend Tuesday’s hearing. The four other co-defendants waived their right to be present at the hearing and opted instead to remain in their cells at the terror detention camp. 
  
 Bin al-Shibh did not describe his “problem” in detail, but whatever happened in the holding cell during the lunch break was enough to convince him to ask to return to his cell. 
  
 After consulting with his client, defense lawyer James Harrington said there were underlying problems with detention camp guards that Mr. Harrington said he would seek to resolve with camp officials. 
  
 “Sometimes things build up and build up and build up, and that is what happened in this case,” he told the judge. 
  
 Another of Bin al-Shibh’s lawyers, US Navy Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Bogucki, noted that the judge had earlier issued an order to the guard force at the detention camp in response to complaints from Bin al-Shibh about noises and vibrations in his cell. 
  
 Government lawyers said at the time that there was no evidence that Bin al-Shibh was being subjected to intentional noises and vibrations. But Judge Pohl nonetheless issued an order asking camp officials to stop doing anything that might be causing such a problem. 
  
 Lt. Cmdr. Bogucki said that when Bin al-Shibh tried to cite the judge’s order to military guards after the ruling was issued, he was told they knew nothing of such an order. 
  
 When Bogucki confronted camp officials about the matter, he said he was told: “This is not a judge issue, this is our issue,” and “if you don’t like it, file a motion.” 
  
 The defense lawyer told the judge that detention camp officials showed a “complete lack of respect for your order.” He said based on reports from his client, the harassing activity was both ongoing and retaliatory. 
  
 Judge Pohl said that the first time the complaints of noises and vibrations were brought to his courtroom, government lawyers suggested that perhaps the noises and vibrations existed only in Bin al-Shibh’s mind. 
  
 “My client suffers from no such delusional disorder,” Bogucki replied. 
  
 Pohl said that the appropriate response would be for defense lawyers to contact the camp commander and raise the issue directly with him. 
  
 “The camp commander is part of the problem,” Bogucki said. “The quotes I gave you were from the camp commander.” 
  
 The lawyer added: “This is a case unprecedented in American history given the treatment that these men have had, so we do have to proceed in some manner.” 
  
 All five of the defendants were held for years in secret custody by the Central Intelligence Agency where they were subjected to prolonged and harsh interrogation techniques. Those techniques included sleep deprivation and sensory deprivation combined with prolonged exposure to loud noises. 
  
 A spokesman for the detention camp at Guantánamo denied the existence of any significant problem between Bin al-Shibh and the guards. 
  
 “A freshly-prepared standard detainee halal meal was provided to the defendant by the Joint Task Force during the lunch recess. The defendant complained that his lunch did not include condiments such as olives and honey,” US Navy Capt. Robert Durand, Director of Public Affairs, Joint Task Force Guantánamo, said in a statement. 
  
 All five defendants are facing a military tribunal on charges that they helped plan and/or help with logistics in the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks that left nearly 3,000 dead. If convicted they face the death penalty. 
  
 At a hearing on Monday, another defendant, Walid Bin Attash, complained that he was too ill to remain in the courtroom. 
  
 His lawyer said he wanted to remain present during the hearing, but that a stomach condition was too painful. The judge called an early recess to the public portion of the hearing. 
  
 It was not clear what might happen if Mr. Bin Attash was still feeling sick on Tuesday but did not want to waive his right to be present. That issue did not arise since Bin Attash told a detention camp official early Tuesday that he did not want to attend that day’s court hearing. 
  
 The pre-trial hearings are set to continue through Friday. ||||| A defendant in the Sept. 11 terror attack case alleged Tuesday that guards at Guantanamo Bay have been withholding food when he is in court or meeting with his lawyers. Military officials denied that has happened.

 The charge by Ramzi bin al Shibh came as he angrily explained to the military judge in his case why he did not want to attend the afternoon session on the second day of a weeklong pretrial hearing at the U.S. base in Cuba. 
  
 "It is a form of psychological torture," he said. 
  
 The judge, Army Col. James Pohl, has been allowing the five defendants to skip sessions of their pretrial hearings, but he has said they will be required to attend their actual trial, which is likely at least a year away. The other four defendants had already decided not to come to court Tuesday. 
  
 A spokesman for the Guantanamo Bay prison, Navy Capt. Robert Durand, later said bin al Shibh was provided with a "freshly prepared meal" that met Muslim dietary standards, but "the defendant complained that his lunch did not include condiments such as olives and honey." 
  
 The allegation from bin al Shibh, a Yemeni accused of aiding the hijackers in the Sept. 11, 2001, attack, was a rare lively moment in a day that was otherwise devoted to lengthy arguments over aspects of a protective order that governs the handling of classified evidence in the complex terrorism trial. 
  
 Lawyers for the five prisoners believe the rules as written make it harder for them to mount a defense based around the men's harsh treatment while in CIA custody. The arguments were expected to continue Wednesday. 
  
 The five prisoners facing trial in the case include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has portrayed himself as the mastermind of the terrorist plot, and all of them face charges that include terrorism and murder. They could get the death penalty if convicted. |||||
What is a one-paragraph summary of the above article?
– A 9/11 defendant abruptly asked to leave a pre-trial hearing yesterday, alleging that there had been "problems between me and the guards on a daily basis" revolving around food. Ramzi bin al-Shibh was the only 9/11 defendant who had decided to attend the hearings; the other four had opted to stay in their Guantanamo Bay cells. "I cannot remain here," bin al-Shibh told the judge, according to the Christian Science Monitor. "There are problems with the food." Bin al-Shibh didn't specify what those problems were, but he did say that in some cases (such as during lunch-hour meetings with his lawyers) he hadn't been provided any lunch at all. "This is one sort of psychological torture." He said it had bothered "the brothers as well," meaning his co-defendants. A military spokesman tells the AP that bin al-Shibh got a "freshly prepared meal" every day that met his religious requirements. But "the defendant complained that his lunch did not include condiments such as olives and honey."
Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, en av fem 9/11 åtalade vid den militära kommissionsrättegången i Guantánamo, berättade för domaren att problem med maten utgjorde tortyr av militärvakterna. Det här är varför Marco Rubio kan behöva hoppa av I denna skiss av rättssalen konstnären Janet Hamlin, anklagad 9/11 med-konspiratör Ramzi bin al Shibh (r.) ger med juridiska ombud under en pre-trail förhör på USA. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Kuba, 19 augusti. I en underlig vändning i ett allt ovanligare fall bad en svarande i rättegången mot den militära kommissionen 9/11 i Guantánamo plötsligt mitt igenom ett förhör före rättegången på tisdagen att föras tillbaka till sin cell efter att ha klagat på att bli utsatt för ”psykologisk tortyr” av militära vakter. Ramzi Bin al-Shibh bad domaren att återföras till terrorförläggningslägret snarare än att stanna kvar i rättssalen under resten av dagens förlopp. Domaren, US Army Col. James Pohl, frågade svaranden om han frivilligt avsade sig rätten att närvara under förhöret. — Jag kan inte stanna här, sade mr Bin al-Shibh till domaren i öppen domstol. ”Det finns problem med maten som var försedd.” Han sa att han upplevde ett ”dagligt problem” med mat och att när han hade möten med sina advokater under lunchtimmen ibland inte fick någon lunch alls. — Det här är en sorts psykologisk tortyr, sade han. — De vållar dagligen problem (mellan) mig och vakterna, sade han genom en arabisk översättare. Han tillade att det inte bara var ett problem för honom utan även för "bröderna", med hänvisning till hans medförsvarare i fallet. Den märkliga åtgärden kom den andra dagen av en veckolång serie utfrågningar som behandlade en rad rättsliga frågor före rättegången i den militära kommissionsrättegången mot påstådd 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Bin Al-Shibh, och tre andra vid den amerikanska flottbasen vid Guantánamo Bay, Kuba. Utfrågningarna övervakas av nyhetsreportrar på Guantánamo och via en direktsänd videosändning på Fort Meade, Md. Bin al-Shibh var den enda svarande av de fem som valde att närvara vid tisdagens förhör. De fyra andra medförsvararna avstod från sin rätt att närvara vid förhöret och valde istället att stanna kvar i sina celler i terrorförläggningslägret. Bin al-Shibh beskrev inte sitt ”problem” i detalj, men vad som än hände i cellhållningen under lunchrasten var tillräckligt för att övertyga honom att be att få återvända till sin cell. Efter att ha konsulterat sin klient sa försvarsadvokaten James Harrington att det fanns underliggande problem med interneringslägervakter som Mr Harrington sa att han skulle försöka lösa med lägertjänstemän. “Ibland bygger saker upp och bygger upp och bygger upp, och det är vad som hände i det här fallet,” sade han till domaren. En annan av Bin al-Shibhs advokater, US Navy Lt. Kevin Bogucki, noterade att domaren tidigare hade utfärdat en order till vaktstyrkan vid interneringslägret som svar på klagomål från Bin al-Shibh om ljud och vibrationer i hans cell. Statsjurister sade då att det inte fanns några bevis för att Bin al-Shibh utsattes för avsiktliga ljud och vibrationer. Men domare Pohl utfärdade ändå en order om att lägertjänstemännen skulle sluta göra allt som kan orsaka ett sådant problem. Löjtnant. Bogucki sade att när Bin al-Shibh försökte citera domarens order till militära vakter efter att domen utfärdats fick han veta att de inte visste något om en sådan order. När Bogucki konfronterade lägertjänstemän i frågan, sade han att han fick höra: “Detta är inte en domare fråga, detta är vår fråga,” och “om du inte gillar det, lämna in en motion.” Försvarsadvokaten berättade för domaren att interneringsläger tjänstemän visade en “fullständig brist på respekt för din order.” Han sade baserat på rapporter från sin klient, trakasserier aktivitet var både pågående och hämnd. Domare Pohl sade att första gången klagomålen om buller och vibrationer fördes till hans rättssal, föreslog statliga advokater att kanske buller och vibrationer bara fanns i Bin al-Shibh sinne. — Min klient lider inte av någon sådan vanföreställningsstörning, svarade Bogucki. Pohl sade att det lämpliga svaret skulle vara att försvarsadvokater skulle kontakta lägerkommendanten och ta upp frågan direkt med honom. — Lägrets befälhavare är en del av problemet, sade Bogucki. "De citat jag gav dig var från lägret befälhavare." Advokaten tillade: "Detta är ett fall utan motstycke i amerikansk historia med tanke på den behandling som dessa män har fått, så vi måste gå vidare på något sätt." Alla fem av de åtalade hölls i hemligt förvar av Central Intelligence Agency där de utsattes för utdragna och hårda förhör tekniker. Dessa tekniker inkluderade sömnbrist och sensorisk brist i kombination med långvarig exponering för höga ljud. En talesman för interneringslägret i Guantánamo förnekade förekomsten av något betydande problem mellan Bin al-Shibh och vakterna. “En nyberedd standard internerad halal måltid gavs till den tilltalade av den gemensamma arbetsgruppen under lunchrasten. Svaranden klagade på att hans lunch inte innehöll kryddor som oliver och honung, säger amerikanska flottans kapten. Robert Durand, chef för den gemensamma arbetsgruppen Guantánamo, sade i ett uttalande. Alla fem åtalade ställs inför en militärdomstol för anklagelser som de hjälpte till att planera och/eller hjälpa till med logistiken i terrorattackerna 11 september 2001 som lämnade närmare 3 000 döda. Om de döms står de inför dödsstraff. Vid ett förhör i måndags klagade en annan tilltalad, Walid Bin Attash, över att han var för sjuk för att stanna kvar i rättssalen. Hans advokat sa att han ville vara kvar under förhöret, men att ett magbesvär var för smärtsamt. Domaren kallade till ett tidigt uppehåll i den offentliga delen av förhöret. Det var inte klart vad som kunde hända om Mr Bin Attash fortfarande mådde illa på tisdag men inte ville avstå från sin rätt att vara närvarande. Den frågan uppstod inte, eftersom Bin Attash i början av tisdagen berättade för en interneringslägertjänsteman att han inte ville närvara vid den dagens domstolsförhandling. Förhandlingen fortsätter på fredag. En svarande i terrorattentatet 11 september hävdade tisdagen att vakter vid Guantanamo Bay har undanhållit mat när han är i domstol eller träffar sina advokater. Militära tjänstemän förnekade att det har hänt.

"Det är en form av psykologisk tortyr", sade han. Domaren, överste James Pohl, har tillåtit de fem åtalade att hoppa över sessioner i sina förhör före rättegången, men han har sagt att de kommer att åläggas att närvara vid deras faktiska rättegång, vilket troligen är minst ett år bort. De övriga fyra åtalade hade redan beslutat att inte komma till domstolen tisdag. En talesman för Guantanamo Bay-fängelset. Robert Durand, sade senare bin al Shibh var försedd med en "nylagad måltid" som uppfyllde muslimska kostnormer, men "den tilltalade klagade över att hans lunch inte innehöll kryddor som oliver och honung." Anklagelserna från bin al Shibh, en jemenitisk anklagad för att ha hjälpt kaparna i attacken den 11 september 2001, var ett sällsynt livligt ögonblick på en dag som annars ägnades åt utdragna argument om aspekter av en skyddsorder som styr hanteringen av hemlig bevisning i den komplexa terroristrättegången. Advokater för de fem fångarna tror att reglerna som de är skrivna gör det svårare för dem att sätta upp ett försvar baserat på männens hårda behandling medan de sitter i CIA:s förvar. Argumenten förväntades fortsätta onsdagen. Bland de fem fångar som ställs inför rätta i fallet märks Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, som har porträtterat sig själv som hjärnan bakom terroristkomplotten, och alla står inför anklagelser som inkluderar terrorism och mord. De kan få dödsstraff om de döms. Vad är en sammanfattning av ovanstående artikel?
Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, one of five 9/11 charged at the Guantánamo military commission trial, told the judge that food problems constituted torture by the military guards.

Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, August 19. In a strange turn in an increasingly unusual case, a defendant in the trial of the Military Commission in Guantánamo suddenly asked midway through a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday to be brought back to his cell after complaining of being subjected to ‘psychological torture’ by military guards. Ramzi Bin al-Shibh asked the judge to be returned to the terror detention centre camp rather than remain in the courtroom for the rest of the day. The judge, US Army Col.

He added that it was not only a problem for him but also for the "brothers", citing his co-defendant in the case. The strange measure came on the second day of a week-long series of hearings dealing with a series of legal issues prior to trial in the military commission trial against alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Bin Al-Shibh, and three others at the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The hearings are monitored by news reporters at Guantánamo and via a live video broadcast on Fort Meade, Md. Bin al-Shibh was the only defendant of the five who chose to attend Tuesday's hearing.

Kevin Bogucki, noted that the judge had previously issued an order to the guard force at the detention camp in response to complaints from Bin al-Shibh about sounds and vibrations in his cell. State lawyers then said there was no evidence that Bin al-Shibh was subjected to deliberate sounds and vibrations. Nevertheless, Judge Pohl issued an order that the camp officials stop doing anything that could cause such a problem. Lieutenant. Bogucki said that when Bin al-Shibh tried to quote the judge's orders to military guards after the verdict was issued, he was told they knew nothing of such an order. When confronting camp officials on the issue, Bogucki said he was told: “This is not a judge’s question, this is our question,” and “if you don’t like it, submit a motion.” The defense lawyer told the judge that detention camp officials showed a “complete lack of respect for your order.” He said based on reports from his client, harassment activity was both ongoing and revenge.
