The CIA’s torture of Al-Qaeda suspect Abu Zubaydah at a black site in Poland two decades ago comes up before the US Supreme Court Wednesday in a case challenging the government’s desire to keep his treatment secret.

Saudi-born Palestinian Zayn Al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn, 50, better known as Abu Zubaydah, has never been charged since he was first seized in Pakistan in 2002 and ferried between several secret CIA jails for questioning before being dropped in the military detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 2006.

Backed by the European Court of Human Rights, he needs depositions from the two psychologists, James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, to support his claim of having been tortured at a secret CIA site in Poland with the complicity of Polish officials.
