MILAN, Italy — The wife of an Egyptian cleric taken from a Milan street, allegedly as part of the CIA's extraordinary-rendition program, wept Wednesday as she described her husband's alleged torture in an Egyptian jail.
Heavily veiled and speaking through a translator, Ghali Nabila testified in the trial of 26 Americans charged in Italy with kidnapping in the disappearance of Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr in February 2003.
"They put him on a cross, they beat him on the ears and all over his body," she told the court, citing a letter from her husband and conversations with him.
"They positioned him on a chair, tied up his hands and his feet," she said, before breaking into tears. "And they gave him electrical shock all over his body, even his genitals."
Nabila, 39, said the torture continued over 14 months.
