Hamidullah Khan

Who is Hamidullah Khan?

Hamidullah Khan is a citizen of Pakistan who was held by the United States in its Bagram Theater Internment Facility in Afghanistan. United Kingdom human rights group Reprieve reports he was just fourteen years old, when he was picked up in Pakistan.

Hamidullah Khan, for example, was picked up while travelling from Karachi to his father's village in Waziristan to salvage the family's possessions during the ongoing military operation. He was just fourteen. He is currently being held at Bagram and his family are desperate for his return.

Daniel Morgan, writing for Newsweek Pakistan, reported that Hamidullah's family received a letter from him in 2010, where he said he had been cleared for release by a Bagram enemy combatant review.

Human rights workers were able to initiate a court inquiry in Lahore for Hamidullah and six other Pakistani men. The Pakistani government was ordered to send officials to interview the men.
