He never returned. Kidnapped by warlords and then sold to the US after 9\/11, he was disappeared to Guant\u00e1namo Bay, where he spent the next 14 years as Detainee #441. Don\u2019t Forget Us Here tells two coming-of-age stories in parallel: a makeshift island outpost becoming the world\u2019s most notorious prison and an innocent young man emerging from its darkness. Arriving as a stubborn teenager, Mansoor survived the camp\u2019s infamous interrogation program and became a feared and hardened resistance fighter leading prison riots and hunger strikes. With time though, he grew into the man nicknamed \u201cSmiley Troublemaker\u201d: a student, writer, advocate, and historian. While at Guant\u00e1namo, he wrote a series of manuscripts he sent as letters to his attorneys, which he then transformed into this vital chronicle, in collaboration with award-winning writer Antonio Aiello.   About our guest:  Mansour Adayfi is a writer, advocate, and former Guant\u00e1namo detainee, held for over 14 years without charges as an enemy combatant. Adayfi was released to Serbia in 2016, where he struggles to make a new life for himself and to shed the designation of a suspected terrorist. He has published several New York Times pieces, including a \u201cModern Love\u201d column. ","author_name":"Peacemindedly","author_url":"http:\/\/goltune.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
