From McClatchy:
"Amnesty International on Tuesday called for the immediate release of a Canadian citizen being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after his lawyers released copies of a video in which the then-teenage captive sobs and cries "Help me" repeatedly.
Omar Khadr was 16 years old when the video was taken as he was being questioned by Canadian intelligence agents in 2003. A Canadian court ordered Canadian intelligence to surrender the video to Khadr's attorneys, who are fighting American charges that Khadr killed an American soldier with a grenade during fighting in Afghanistan in 2002, when Khadr was 15. Khadr was taken from the battlefield badly wounded and near death.
The lawyers released 10 minutes from the videos, which total more than seven hours. The video was created by U.S. government agents at the prison in Cuba and originally marked as secret.

Here's the video, its so sad to watch the kid at end cry "Help me..."
