Detainees Held In The Bagram Theater Internment Facility
On January 16, 2010, the United States Department of Defense complied with a court order and made public a heavily redacted list of the detainees held in the Bagram Theater Internment Facility. Detainees were initially held in primitive, temporary quarters, in what was originally called the Bagram Collection Point, from late 2001. Detainees were later moved to an indoor detention center until late 2009, when newly constructed facilities were opened. The identity of most detainees held in Bagram remained classified until the publication of the first list in January 2010. Dozens of the names on the list are identical to names of detainees who had been held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.

They were: Gul Zaman, Khadan Kadri and Hafizullah Shabaz Khau. While some Guantanamo detainees were sent directly to Guantanamo from ...
