In February 2010, Brent Mickum, the lawyer for Shaker Aamer, a detainee who is a British resident, said his client had described suffering torture at a separate location outside the regular camp on June 9, 2006, when the other detainees died. He was subjected to what has been called dryboarding, which led to temporary asphyxiation.[4][5] Mickum said that, from Aamer's description, he thought it "'likely' Mr Aamer's torture was in the same 'black site' area, Camp No, identified by the Harper's article."[4] Although Aamer was cleared for release in 2009, he was still being held until October 2015.
