After a long legal battle the
Department of Defense complied with a
court order from
US District Court Justice
Jed Rakoff to release the names of all the Guantanamo detainees. The DoD released a list of all the captives who had been detained, in military custody, in Guantanamo. The name "Jan Mohammed" is missing from that list. On June 15, 2008, the
McClatchy News Service published articles based on interviews with 66 former Guantanamo captives. McClatchy identified Jan Mohammed as Guantanamo captive 107, listed as "Jon Mohammad Barakzai". Mohammed described being sent to
Sherberghan prison by
General Dostum, where: Jan Mohammed described abuse while in the Afghan custody that preceded his US custody. He said he had to move, after he returned to Afghanistan, because local Taliban sympathizers suspected his early release was a sign that he was a US spy, or had collaborated with them. ==References==
