Muhammed Qasim is a citizen of Afghanistan (WP) who was reportedly held in extrajudicial detention (WP) in the Wikipedia:United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps (WP), in Cuba (WP).[1]

Identity

Wikipedia:The Philadelphia Inquirer printed an opinion by Wikipedia:David L. McColgin, who described working as a lawyer for a Guanntanamo captive named Muhammed Qasim.[1] The Wikipedia:US Department of Defense released what it described as a full list of all the captives who had been held, in military custody, in Guantanamo.[2] It only lists two individuals named Qasim: A Yemeni named Khaled Qasim, and a Uyghur named Wikipedia:Abu Bakr Qasim. Muhammed Qasim is not listed. McColgin wrote that Qasim attended his Wikipedia:Combatant Status Review Tribunal in 2004.

Another lawyer that worked on Qasim's case, Mark Wilson, described in the book The Guantanamo Lawyers: Inside a Prison Outside the Law details of Quasim's release in 2007 to an Afghan prison and his final release to his hometown in 2008.[3]

Capture

McColgin wrote that Qasim was captured on February 7, 2003.[1] He was captured by a mixed force of Americans and Afghans. He believes that a neighbor falsely alleged he was a member of the Taliban so he could be paid a bounty.

McColgin wrote that Qasim was a thirty year old farmer, in Wikipedia:Zormat, Afghanistan, who supported his mother and a sister.[1]

Combatant Status Review Tribunal

Qasim participated in his Wikipedia:Combatant Status Review Tribunal.
