Hunger strike[edit]
Reporters interviewed Borekzai, and Wikipedia:Habir Russol, another Afghani who was released at the same time, on July 20, 2005, the day they arrived home.[14] In this interview they revealed that Camp Delta was in the midst of a widespread Wikipedia:hunger strike.
Borekzai and Russol estimated that over 180 detainees were participating in the hunder strike, and that it had been going on for over two weeks.[12][13][14]
Initially DoD spokesman Wikipedia:Flex Plexico denied any knowledge of a hunger strike.[15] On July 21, 2005, three days after their departure, Plexico claimed that only a small number of detainees had been refusing food, and that they had only been doing so for three days. The lawyers of Guantanamo details later corroborated the details of the Afghans claims, saying that they had been aware of the hunger strike as early as June 23, 2005, but had not been able to say anything because of a DoD gag place on them.
Borekzai told the Associated Press the detainees were protesting because "some of these people say they were mistreated during interrogation. Some say they are innocent."[12] The two Afghans said they had been accused of being members of the former Taliban regime, but both said they were innocent.
Conflicting accounts of his real name[edit]
Guantanamo contained at least two captives with very similar names.[1] Wikipedia:Guantanamo captive 974 was listed as Mohe Bullar on the official lists released on April 20, 2006 and May 15, 2006.
- He was listed as Mohib Ullah on his Wikipedia:Joint Task Force Guantanamo assessment, date November 15, 2003.[16]
- He was listed as Wikipedia:FNU Muhibullah on the Summary of Evidence memos drafted for his 2004 and 2005 Wikipedia:OARDEC status reviews, and on the official lists of captives first published in 2006.[3][1]
However, in the Associated Press interview he gave upon his repatriation his name was listed as Moheb Ullah Borezkai.[8][9][10][11]
His Guantanamo Wikipedia:Internment Serial Number was 546.
American Wikipedia:intelligence analysts estimate that Muhibullah was born in 1982, in Shah Wali Koot, Afghanistan.
He was captured in Afghanistan in Novembere 2001 and was transferred to Afghanistan on July 19, 2005.[17]

Guantanamo contained at least two captives with very similar names. Guantanamo captive 974 was listed as [[Wikipedia:Muhebullah

Combatant Status Review Tribunal[edit]
[[Wikipedia:Image:Trailer where CSR Tribunals were held.jpg|thumb|Wikipedia:Combatant Status Review Tribunals were held in a 3 x 5 meter trailer.
The captive sat with his hands and feet shackled to a bolt in the floor.[18][19] Three chairs were reserved for members of the press, but only 37 of the 574 Tribunals were observed.[20]]]
Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Wikipedia:Geneva Conventions to captives from
Wikipedia:the war on terror.[21] This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct Wikipedia:competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of Wikipedia:prisoner of war status.
Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Wikipedia:Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were lawful combatants -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an Wikipedia:enemy combatant.
Muhibullah chose to participate in his Combatant Status Review Tribunal.[22]
Allegations[edit]
The allegations Muhibullah faced, during his Tribunal, were:[22]
- a. The detainee is a member of the Wikipedia:Taliban.
- Detainee was recruited by Wikipedia:Syed Sha Agha in late 1998/early 1999 to serve in the Wikipedia:Taliban Security Force. The detainee worked in
Kabul and carried a Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition for approximately one and a half years.
- Detainee worked for Syed Shah Agha or Wikipedia:Abdul Bari, an official in the Wikipedia:Shebreghan region, in Shebreghan, AF Template:Sic,from November 2000 to February of 2001 and again from September 2001 to November 2001. The detainee was responsible for civil dispute mediation.
- Detainee attended a dinner hosted by Wikipedia:Commandant Kamal Template:Sic at his home in Wikipedia:Towraghondi, AF Template:Sic. Kamal was warlord for Wikipedia:Ismail Khan.
- The Detainee acquired a rifle from a Wikipedia:Mujahideen fighter, Abdul Ghafar.
- Detainee surrendered to Northern Alliance forces in November of2001.
Response to the allegations[edit]
- Muhibullah confirmed that he worked as a guard to Syed Sha Agha, but he disputed that he did so for a year and a half. Rather he was forcibly conscripted twice. Both times for periods of two or three months.
- Muhibullah repeatedly stated that he did not understand the European date system.
- Muhibullah stated that, in addition to guard duty his responsibilities including kitchen and other household chores.
- Muhibullah confirmed his presence at a dinner where Commandant Kamal was present. But he didn't know Kamal. He wasn't invited by Kamal. He was present merely to perform guard duty.
- Muhibullah denied knowing anyone named Abdul Ghafar.
Administrative Review Board hearing[edit]
Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual Wikipedia:Administrative Review Board hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".
They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat—or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.
The factors for and against continuing to detain Muhibullah were among the 121 that the Department of Defense released on March 3, 2006.[23]
The following primary factors favor continued detention[edit]
- a. Connections/Associations
- The detainee worked for the Taliban Governor of Wikipedia:Shebreghan and claims to have been the Acting Governor for a period of time. When the Taliban fell, he heeded instructions heard over the radio to surrender. The detainee turned himself in to forces under Wikipedia:Ismail Khan. At the time of his surrender he was in possession of six Kalashnikov rifles.
- The detainee had a relationship with the Taliban, in that he served for them as a night watchman in Wikipedia:Kabul over a two year period, and as a dispute mediator in Shebreghan.
- b. Training
- The detainee admitted to receiving instruction in the use of AK-47 and RPG from his uncle.
- c. Intent
- The detainee admitted to carrying an AK-47 in conjunction with his duties as a guard for the Taliban.
The following primary factors favor release or transfer[edit]
- a. Other Relevant Data
- The detainee claimed he was forced into service with the Taliban and had no choice in the matter.
