Mohammed Sadiq is an elderly citizen of Afghanistan who was held in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.[1] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 349. Joint Task Force Guantanamo counter-terrorism analysts estimate he was born in 1913. Sadiq arrived at Guantanamo on May 2, 2002.[2]
Sadiq was Guantanamo's oldest prisoner. 88 years old Sadiq was transferred to the camp on May 5, 2002, and was repatriated, on October 28, 2002.[3][4][5][5]
Press reports[edit]
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,"[3][4] Neither Sadiq, or Mohammed Hagi Fiz another elderly Afghan released at the same time as he was, said they were tortured.
Weight records[edit]
The Department of Defense published tables of the detainees' heights and weights on 16 March 2002.[2][6]
Mohammed Sadiq's height was recorded as 61.5 inches.[2] He was recorded as arriving at Guantanamo on 2 May 2002. His weight was recorded on the 2nd, 3rd and 4 May, at 133 and 135 pounds; and on 15 September 2002, at 140 pounds. His weight was also recorded at some time in April, as 136 pounds—the table doesn't say where this weight was recorded.
Namesakes[edit]
Another captive with a homologous name, Mohammed Saduq, (Guantanamo captive 512), was repatriated to Pakistan on 16 July 2003.[5]
