" In September 2006, US President George W. Bush announced that 14 men had been transferred to military detention in Guant�namo. Majid Khan, a Pakistani national and victim of enforced disappearance for more than three and a half years, was one of the 14. In this document Amnesty International is calling for, amongst other things, Majid Khan and the other 13 detainees to be granted immediate and continuing access to legal counsel and for an end to the US practice of secret detention.
