Revision as of 19:27, 13 July 2009
Isa Khan is a citizen of Pakistan who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba. His Guantanamo Internee Security Number is 23.
Human Rights Watch letter
Human Rights Watch issued a "Letter to President General Pervez Musharraf" calling on the Bush administration to "release detainees who were Taliban soldiers or who have no connection to Al Qaeda, and who are not being prosecuted for war crimes or other serious international offenses." The letter referred to Khan as a "homeopathic doctor from Bannu District in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan who, American and Pakistani officials have privately admitted to Human Rights Watch, has no connection to the Taliban or Al-Qaeda."
Repatriation and Pakistani detention
Following his repatriation he was imprisoned and investigated by Pakistani security authorities.
Khan has been granted a kind of extrajudicial conditional release by Pakistani officials. Khan's conditional release is not like parole, granted by judicial authorities, following a conviction during a trial, as neither the American or Pakistani authorities ever laid any criminal charges against him, or granted him a trial.
According to an article in the January 7 2006 edition of the Houston Chronicle Khan says he has considered committing suicide because the Pakistani government continues to monitor him.
McClatchy interview
On June 15 2008 the McClatchy News Service published an article on each of 66 former Guantanamo captives they interviewed. Issa Khan was one of the captives interviewed.
In the interview Khan acknowledged that his father-in-law was a Taliban appointed judge. He was repatriated to Pakistani custody in September 2004 -- that is, while the Combatant Status Review Tribunals were in process.
His Pakistani interrogators told him his wife had been killed in 2001, and that his infant sone had disappeared. McClatchy reporters had been allowed access to his Pakistani security dossier, which stated he had been cleared of suspicion of involvement with the Talian.
Issa Khan reported he was captured by Pakistani police at a road-block -- not on a battlefield. He reported being abused, both by his initial Pakistani captors and by Americans in Afghanistan. He reported that female interrogators told him they were smearing their menses on him. He reported that he and other captives retaliated by throwing their bodily fluids on some of the guards.
