Bagram: The Annotated Prisoner List

by | Jan 26, 2010 | Afghanistan | 1 comment

On January 15, the ACLU won a FOIA suit demanding information about the prisoners held at the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. Now British journalist Andy Worthington has reproduced the list (Many of the detainees were abducted and from who-knows-where and brought to Afghanistan in order that the CIA and military could take advantage of the lawlessness of the current “battlefield” there.) along with notes on approximately 100 of them who he had previously identified and investigated.

Worthington calls it a “co-operative project” and invites any information people may be able to add.
