An alleged torture victim from Afghanistan today showed an Old Bailey jury scars from injuries he said he suffered while being interrogated.
They were inflicted by gunmen under the command of an Afghan warlord, Faryadi Sarwar Zardad, according to the prosecution.
It is alleged that Zardad used a “human dog” as part of a merciless campaign of fear in his homeland between 1991 and 1996.
Zardad, who was later found in London and arrested, is being tried for plotting to take hostages and torture them in Afghanistan in a landmark case. <snip>
