OSI hosted a discussion of Mahvish Khan's book My Guantánamo Diary: The Detainees and the Stories They Told Me. Khan, an American lawyer and the daughter of Afghan immigrants, volunteered to serve as a Pashto translator for Afghan detainees and their lawyers. Drawing on more than 30 trips to Guantánamo Bay and several more to Afghanistan, her book sheds light on the hidden stories of Guantánamo detainees and probes the injustices committed in the name of the "war on terror."
