Video games, television shows and films often have consultants to ensure they’re getting things right. Hospital shows have doctors on call to fact check their treatments and lingo, military shows have advisers to  make sure nothing is depicted incorrectly. In what is bound to be an incredibly controversial game, a former detainee held in Guantanamo Bay on suspicion of being a terrorist has agreed to do some consulting on a game based around the US-run prison.
It’s called Rendition: Guantanamo and it centers around a future version of the jail in which the USA has pulled out and it’s been taken over by mercenaries who are using it as their own private laboratory. Moazzam Begg is a British Muslim who spent three years in the facility under suspicion of being a member of Al-Qaeda and is helping the Scotland based developers when it comes to designing the layout of the facility. They’re being careful with this highly charged topic, making sure that it’s very apparent that the guards are simple mercenaries and have no ties to either the USA or UK governments/military.

Begg has written a book about his time in the facility and is involved in both a financial and creative capacity.
