It was March 2004. Amid this bad dream — my confinement and "version" to Libya — I was pregnant. In no time a short time later, I conceived an offspring. After what the C.I.A. did to me, my infant measured four pounds.
Presently I hear that Gina Haspel, who as a C.I.A. officer ran a dark site in Thailand in 2002 that sounds like the one where I was tormented, has been driven the entire organization. On Wednesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee will scrutinize her to choose whether she is fit to be executive.
I realize what I'd inquire as to whether I found the opportunity. Did you think about my snatching and manhandle? Is it accurate to say that you were included with it? What will you say if President Trump requests that you accomplish something to that effect once more?
I'll always remember seeing my ruffians, dressed all in dark and wearing ski covers, sitting tight for me in a white cell in the Bangkok detainment site. My better half and I had fled Colonel Qaddafi's administration, moving from nation to nation to avoid his executioners. We were en route to Europe when we were seized in Malaysia and sent to Bangkok, where the Thais gave us to our ruffians — individuals I now know, from records found in Libya, were with the C.I.A. A man got my head and pushed me into a truck. They blindfolded and trussed me.
I don't comprehend why I was taken. I expect that the C.I.A. pursued my significant other in light of the fact that he drove an Islamist amass that straightforwardly restricted the Qaddafi autocracy. However, what did that need to do with me? I originate from a residential community in Morocco. I was not a political dissenter. I'd never been to Libya until the C.I.A. flew me there, and I never implied the United States any damage. I scarcely pondered the United States until the point that I was tied to the divider in the C.I.A. dark site.
I have no clue to what extent I was in the Thai mystery jail on the grounds that nobody would give me a chance to rest. The cell was white and stark, with nothing in it except for a camera and snares on the divider. The veiled abductors were pausing. I was panicked. They affixed me to the snares. Since I was halfway through my pregnancy, I could scarcely move or sit.
Some of what they did to me in that jail was so horrendous I can't discuss it. They hit me in the stomach area exactly where the child was. To move me, they bound me to a stretcher from make a beeline for toe, similar to a mummy. I was certain I would without further ado be executed.
For the version flight to Libya, I was taped to a stretcher once more. The tape got the edge of my attention. It remained as such, my eye taped open, tears spilling down my face, for over 14 hours.

After I spent half a month in a Libyan jail, Colonel Qaddafi's government agents dragged a bunk into my cell. I was gravely sick. On the off chance that I survived this, I figured, I would be compelled to conceive an offspring, alone, in this dingy cell.
Without further ado before I conveyed, they let me go. The birth was hard. My child and I lived in fear in Libya for a considerable length of time. My significant other was in jail until 2010 and fiercely tormented. We now live in Istanbul with our family.
I don't comprehend what Ms. Haspel's part in the end result for me was or what she supposes about it. All I know is the thing that I read: that she ran a jail in Thailand that sounds a ton like mine; that she backpedaled to the C.I.A. to take a shot at counterterrorism; and that later, she was engaged with obliterating confirmation of torment.
The chief of national insight has said that Ms. Haspel "plans to be absolutely straightforward" about what she did. I trust she will be addressed about my case and whether she approves it. On the off chance that she had an influence, she ought to apologize. On the off chance that she didn't, she ought to swear under pledge that the C.I.A. under her order will never again complete kidnappings like mine.
I likewise read that the C.I.A. says America's outside partners regard Ms. Haspel. Perhaps so. Be that as it may, if America needs to induce the Muslim world it intends no mischief, in the event that it needs to recover lost trust, the C.I.A. can't disregard history with the expectation that it will leave. Individuals recall treachery for quite a while. The main answer is to clarify what happened.
Indeed, even now, subsequent to all that I experienced, I don't consider severely Americans. Truth be told, I think Americans merit genuineness from their insight officers. I don't accept most customary individuals would have bolstered what the C.I.A. did to me on the off chance that they'd known.
I won't get the opportunity to ask Ms. Haspel these inquiries, however I trust a congressperson will. What's more, on the off chance that she wasn't included, and feels in her heart that tormenting me wasn't right, she should say as much.
