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
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
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
Another captive with a homologous name, Mohammed Saduq, (Guantanamo captive 512), was repatriated to Pakistan on 16 July 2003.[5]
