==Press reports==

Sadiq was interviewed in 2002, shortly after his repatriation.
He has said he was captured in [[Paktia Province]], and that the detainees ''"...were kept like animals,"''<ref name=TheObserver20021103/><ref name=Cbs20021029/>
Neither Sadiq, or [[Mohammed Hagi Fiz]] another elderly Afghan released at the same time as he was, said they were tortured.

The [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] published tables of the detainees' heights and weights on 16 March 2002.<ref name="OfficialWeightsIsn323-494"/><ref name=OfficialGuantanamoWeights>
