Kepulangan dan proses integrasi semula bekas tahanan Guantanamo memberikan gambaran unik terhadap realiti usaha menentang keganasan, deradikalisasi, dan kerentanan manusia.

Pengalaman dua warganegara Malaysia yang dirujuk di sini sebagai En. M dan En. K yang ditahan lebih daripada 21 tahun di “black sites” milik Agensi Perisikan Pusat (CIA) dan rejim tahanan Guantanamo menunjukkan bukan sahaja kesan mendalam akibat penyeksaan dan penahanan berpanjangan, tetapi turut membawa pengajaran penting dalam menambah baik dasar dan amalan dalam bidang Anti-Keganasan (CT) dan Pencegahan dan Penanganan Ekstremisme Ganas (PCVE) di Malaysia dan di peringkat antarabangsa.

The return and reintegration of former Guantanamo Bay detainees provide an exceptional window into the realities of counterterrorism, deradicalisation, and human vulnerability.

The experience of two Malaysian nationals—referred to here as Mr. M and Mr. K— detained for more than 21 years across the “black sites” of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Guantanamo detention regime demonstrates not only the profound impact of torture and prolonged imprisonment but also key lessons for improving policy and practice in Counterterrorism (CT) and Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE) in Malaysia and beyond.
