As the US prepares to shut down Guantanamo Bay detention centre, attention is shifting to prisons that will remain open.

In Afghanistan, more than 3,000 men are being held at the Policharkhi prison outside Kabul.

The prisoners say conditions are wretched and they’re not being given access to fair trials.
