From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
{{importance}} 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 Internee Security Number is 357. Joint Task Force Guantanamo counter-terrorism analysts estimate he was born in 1913. Sadiq was released, in October 2002, making him one of the first captives to be released.[2][3]
He has said he was captured in Paktia Province,[citation needed] and that the captives "...were kept like animals,"[2]
Neither Sadiq, or Mohammed Hagi Fiz another elderly Afghan released at the same time as he was, said they were tortured.[2]
