Parkhudin is a citizen of Afghanistan, who was held in extrajudicial detention in the Bagram Collection Point, and the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1][2] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 896.

Tim Golden, of the New York Times, interviewed him when he broke the story of the beating deaths of Habibullah and Dilawar in the Bagram Theater Internment Facility in 2005.[3]

Capture[]

Parkhudin, and two other men, Abdur Rahim, and Zakim Shah, were passengers in Dilawar's jitney taxi.[3][4][5] The four men were captured by Jan Baz Khan, an Afghan militia leader who had a contract to provide security for Forward Operating Base Salerno. Jan told his American contacts that the four men were responsible for a salvo of missiles that were fired at the base. The men were turned over the Americans in early December 2002. They described spending their first days in captivity isolated from other captives, with their heads covered by a hood, to disorient them, and with their hands shackled to the ceiling, suspending them in a "stress position". Passing GIs would lash out and strike them with unexpected blows.

Dilawar died of this treatment, less than a week after their arrival.[3] Parkhudin, Abdur Rahim, and Zakim Shah, survived, and were transferred to Guantanamo on March 23, 2003. They spent almost a year in Guantanamo on March 14, 2004.

Golden reported that by January 2003, less than two months after Jan Baz Khan turned them over US forces, American intelligence analysts concluded that Dilawar and his three passengers were innocent victims of Jan Baz Khan; that Jan Baz Khan's forces had launched the missile salvo.

Repatriation[]

Golden reported that the three men had been unable to tell Dilawar's family how much he suffered in US captivity.[3]
