  • "Wie lange dauert es? Khalid, ein in England lebender Junge mit pakistanischen Wurzeln, wird anlässlich eines Verwandtenbesuchs in Karachi entführt und landet über ein Zwischenlager in Kandahar in Guantanamo Bay, weil er von den Amerikanern als Terrorist angeklagt wird. Das grausame Schicksal der erfundenen Figur basiert auf realen Berichten aus Guantanamo und weiteren Lagern in Afghanistan und Nordafrika. Nach dem Terroranschlag vom 11. September 2001 beginnt eine hemmungslose Jagd nach Terroristen, die Bevölkerung erhält Geld für Hinweise. So geraten nicht nur viele Männer in die Mühlen der amerikanischen Militärjustiz, sondern auch Kinder und Jugendliche. Die einfache Sichtweise zwischen Gut und Böse, lässt jegliche Menschenwürde mit Füssen treten, Erniedringung und Folter rechtfertigen anscheinend das Ziel. Beklemmend und hautnah spürend, wird anhand der Figur Khalids dieses düstere Kapitel irregeleiteter Militärjustiz beschrieben. Erlösend wirkt dann, dass Khalid doch noch befreit wird, auch wenn der rettende britische Anwalt wie ein "deus ex macchina" auf den Plan tritt und alles zum Guten wendet. Ab 14 Jahren, *****, Elisabeth Tschudi-Moser."

  • "In the tradition of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, this is the story of one boy's experience of the war against terror - behind the barbed wire. Khalid is a normal fifteen-year-old. He likes footy, seeing his friends, playing football down the park. He isn't too excited about visiting his family in Karachi, but his Mum and Dad shame him in to going with them - for the family's sake. So he goes, and one day opens the door to an unthinkable nightmare. Kidnapped by unknown assailants, Khalid is forced to go to a place no child should ever see. A place where systematic humiliation, torture and brutality are part of the daily routine. A prison he is powerless to escape. A living hell called Guantanamo Bay. Ages 13+"
