- Follow the incredible journey of Asadullah Rahman, the youngest inmate to be held at Guantanamo Bay.
Asadullah was only 10 years old when he was arrested and imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay.
While working as a tea boy for an Afghan commander, he, along with 30 other Afghans were rounded up by US soldiers and sent to the notorious military site in Cuba.
Branded a 'terrorist' he was held for 17 months before finally being released.
Al Jazeera's Sonia Verma was the first journalist to find Asadullah after he was freed, travelling to his remote mountain village to interview him.
What she discovered was a young boy who had been victimised by the US, abandoned by his country, yet nostalgic for his brief and unusual taste of the West.
Ten years later, Sonia returns to Afghanistan to find the 22-year-old. This is no simple task. As her friend Graeme Smith put it, "You only had a name. A first name, which is like looking for a guy called John in New York City."
But when Sonia finally does find Asadullah, she discovers a young man trying to rebuild his life after a lost childhood.
Filmmakers: Faris Kermani and Sonia Verma

Children in Guantanamo that is insane!!!
Assadullah is such a pure soul !
Asadullah, I have so much respect for you, a beautiful, clever and dignified man. How you continue your life and are brave enough to speak aloud. I wish you and the other boys, who not surprisingly joined the Taliban on release, some peace. Sadly, that is a naive desire on my part, but it is still my wish.
An example of US hypocrisy .
i hope to find him one day and give him a hug and bring into my country with his family and give a decent job. God he is such a good man :(
Which is your country?
Assad Ullah! pure man faithfully presented.
I feel sorry for what happened to him and didn't even help him sad sad sad..
USA will preach human right and law of combat but they will break all known laws etc. What are the laws on children in war?
That so sad as he wanted to learn but couldn't afford to got
to school to become a doctor to help his people.
america first problem of the palnet
Thanks for getting he's massage out there. My prayer are with all the oppressed people on this earth may God have mercy on them aamin
You and I my brother will pay for our sins don't you worry.
This US government makes me so sick. The way the skirted around the Geneva Convention, Detaining what are classified as Child Soldiers with no rehab. And Obviously the entire way this man has had his life ripped apart by political forces on both side that are out of his control. I was born in Russia and American people gave me alot of opportunity. I love American people but I hate what these politicians are doing in our name.
Its not THIS US government. Its ALL US governments.
This video is blocked in the U.S., where I live. I couldn’t fathom why, and so I went through the effort of using a VPN. I was only able to watch this and comment afterwards. America will never own up to their actions.
I'm in America and I don't use VPN. I was able to see this video wtf
My belief that more should be done for him. Such as trying to get him somewhere else if he wishes, with more education and a good paying job and support for his family. Not sure what is possible but seems more could and should be done to help him. He endures so much.
what about Omar Khadr? he was only 15 years as well.
He is in Canada and there is extensive Canadian coverage about his circumstances. Sad
He threw a grenade at a US soldier, Canadian government gave him 10.5 Million dollars
if this documentary made by BBC channel then there might be some hope to listen his voice and for his safety ..he iis innocent and after many things happened in his life he choose a right path ..international community please help him .god blees him..
+sanjeep tamang if you care about this matter, then do you best to share this video, or make your own about the subject. do some research an write your own story about him. we shouldn't rely on people like the BBC to do it for us. We should all become more proactive over what matters in this world.
He was a survivor of the Empire's injustice. Something the empire would never do to its own white skinned blue eyed children.
Very true! I am a Native American, we are brown people and the white people have killed 90% of our people and tribes. They are pure evil!
I wonder if there are good people in the USA.
Please give him usa citizenship
These kids were brown kids who were born in a land the Capitalist empire decided to choose to make an example of to the world for other brown kids to see and live in fear of for the rest of the world.
You use these people to make your documentaries and help them with nothing very opportunistic people.
How do you know?
Attention on them is helping. Thay all journalists can do.
If this kids are kept away from the monsters of their families they might be ok
Izgleda da si ti veliko cudoviste ,a mozda i najvece .
What is the definition of a terrorist in a collective western point of view? The world is watching.
22 yrs old?? He looks older than his age😏 he could pass 50yrs old for his look..
He was traumatized and abused both by Americans and his own people. What do you expect?
No he didn't. Thick beard and dressing will make anyone look older.
Don't be fooled, these "kids" are old enough to fire RPGs and lob grenades at us soldiers
May Allah destroy the US Empire in my lifetime. So I can die in peace knowing that there is justice in the hereafter.
Where is UNO or UNESCO ? Are they dancing to the tunes of US and UK ??
Name one intervetion or free "them"misson where the people got better lifes after usa socalled help to "figth terror" ?
all will reveal on the Day of Judgment. worry but keep walking straight : )
the usa does what it pleases,when it pleases. the USA RULES THE WORLD!
Lies n more lies, 2023..lies are their food
Fake!
islam and christianity two rotts...
I feel for him because his heart was different than most but we don't really know what if is all lies. I still feel for him as a kid but again look at some of them. Islam is a sec well the religion is and the rape of boys is blasphemous and yet they live for it how sick can a religion be.
Go and education on the religion instead of just spitting nonsense
@@fatimaabdi7144 LOL YOUR AN I KNOW MORE ABOUT RELIGIONS THAN YOU EVER WILL IN YOUR LIFE TIME
@@AFLnewsNtruthatstorytime what a lie
