Dr. Hikmat Nafi Shaukat was held in the Central Intelligence Agency's network of black sites.[1]
In December 2014 the United States Senate Intelligence Committee released an unclassified summary of its huge report on the CIA's use of torture, which confirmed Shaukat had been held in CIA custody.[2] The Senate report concluded he had been illegally subjected to torture without authorization from CIA headquarters. The Senate report concluded that Shaukat had never been part of al Qaida, he had merely once been neighbors with individuals who later may have joined al Qaida.
The CIA captured him in 2002, and held Shaukat for about two months.[3]

For example, the Committee did not include among the 26 individuals wrongfully detaineed: Dr. Hikmat Nafi Shaukat, even though it was determined that he was not involved in CBRN efforts and his involvement with al Qa'ida members was limited to personal relationships with former neighbors.
