Mohammed Sadiq is an elderly citizen of Afghanistan who was held in extrajudicial detention 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] Only two other detainees -- Yasser Hamdi and Abdul Razaq were transferred from Guantanamo prior to Mohammed Sadiq.
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 talbes of the detainees' heights and weights on 16 March 2002.[2][6]
