Nahir Shah (also transliterated Zahir Shah) is a citizen of Afghanistan (WP), who was held in extrajudicial detention (WP) in the United States (WP) Guantanamo Bay detention camp (WP), in Cuba (WP).[1] His Guantanamo Wikipedia:Internment Serial Number was 1010. Intelligence analysts estimated he was born in 1973, in Kapisa Province, Afghanistan.

When the Department of Defense first published its first several thousand pages of transcripts from the Wikipedia:Combatant Status Review Tribunals it did not release an index, so readers could identify which transcript was associated with which captive. Most transcripts referred to the captives as "detainee", or their names were redacted. But Zahir Shah was one of the captives' names that was published, in the clear, so he was one of the first captives to have details of his transcript published.[2][3][4]

The Center for Constitutional Rights (WP) reports that all of the Afghans repatriated to Afghanistan from April 2007 were sent to Afghan custody in the American built and supervised wing of the Pul-e-Charkhi prison (WP) near Kabul,[5] contrary to the Department of Defense saying Nhir Shah was repatriated on November 2, 2007[6]

Combatant Status Review Tribunal

Main article: Combatant Status Review Tribunal

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. 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.

Shah chose to participate in his Wikipedia:Combatant Status Review Tribunal.[8]

According to the Wikipedia:BBC Shah is accused of being a member of Wikipedia:Hizb-i-Islamia.[9]

Witness requests

Nahir Shah requested three witnesses.

His Tribunal's President ruled that two of those witnesses were relevant. His Tribunal's President told Nahir Shah that the procedure Tribunals followed to get the testimony of off-Island witnesses failed, so his two remaining witnesses were ruled not reasonably available.

Nahir Shah was told that if the witnesses did become available his Tribunal would consider reopening his case.

Allegations

During his Tribunal Nahir Shah faced the following allegations[8]:

a. -- The general summary of the allegations that establish an association with terrorism were missing from the transcript. --
  1. The Detainee is a citizen of Afghanistan and identified as a Hizb-I Islamic Template:Sic (HIG) Template:Sic member, possible as a Deputy Commander.
  2. The Detainee admits to keeping a Kalashnikov type weapon in his home.
  3. The Detainee was captured in his home in Afghanistan by United States forces conducting Weapons Cache Recovery Operations.
  4. Weapons including AK-47s, RPGs, and al 07mm recoilless rifle were discovered in Detainee's home by the United States forces.
  5. The Detainee had keys to all the buildings in the compound.


You've gotten very good stuff right here.

Guantanamo Medical records

On 16 March 2007 the Department of Defense published medical records for the captives.[10] According to those records Nahir Shah was 69 inches tall. According to those records his weight was recorded 32 times between July 2003 and November 2006. His weight ranged from 175 to 217 pounds.

Repatriation

On November 25, 2008 the Department of Defense published a list of when Guantanamo captives were repatriated.[6] According to that list he was repatriated on November 2, 2007. Seven other Afghans were repatriated that day, two Jordanian captives and one Libyan captive.

The Wikipedia:Center for Constitutional Rights reports that all of the Afghans repatriated to Afghanistan from April 2007 were sent to Afghan custody in the American built and supervised wing of the Wikipedia:Pul-e-Charkhi prison near Wikipedia:Kabul.[5]

On May 20, 2009, the Wikipedia:New York Times, citing an unreleased Pentagon document, reported that Department of Defense officials claimed Nahir Shah was one of 74 former Guantanatmo captives who "are engaged in terrorism or militant activity."[11][12]
