A panel finds torture made a 9/11 defendant psychotic. A judge will rule whether he can stand trial September 20, 2023 at 11:33PM

One of the 9/11 defendants held at Guantanamo Bay has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder with secondary psychotic features, rendering him delusional and psychotic due to the torture he endured while in CIA custody. The diagnosis raises uncertainty about whether he will stand trial, as his mental issues may render him incompetent. Defense lawyers argue that he should be provided with post-torture trauma care and no longer be subjected to solitary confinement.
