14 Pakistanis have been released from Bagram Prison

shame on the american govt for incarcerating people without a trial and then releasing them quietly after decades of torture and abuse. shame on the pakistani govt for its complicity and callousness.

One of the released detainees is 29 year old Abdul Halim Saifullah. His father had been suffering from paralysis and in 2005 Saifullah took him to a clinic in Karachi. Saifullah dropped his father at the hospital, saying he would run a few errands and return soon, but was never seen again. Later in 2006, the ICRC informed Saifullah’s family that he was being held at Bagram. Saifullah was detained in Bagram for 9 years without trial or access to a lawyer. With this current tranche of 14 releases, 39 Pakistanis have been released from Bagram in the past 10 months. However, it is still unclear how many Pakistanis remain in indefinite detention in Bagram Prison, since no official list has been provided since 2012. More here.
