CSRT Decision: Saida Jan (ISN 1035)

CSRT | ACLU-RDI 592

Tribunal determined that the detainee in question has been accurately classified as an enemy combatant and that he was a member of the Taliban with military experience against the Russians. Detainee denied all allegations and called two witnesses who agreed that the detainee was not a member of the Taliban. During the hearing, the detainee claimed that he was still suffering from various ailments resulting from two days of severe beatings while being held by U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Although the detainee's name is redacted, his identity as Saida Jan is apparent based on a comparison to publicly available information (see related links to the right).
