Jamal Naseer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jamal Naseer was an Afghan man who died on March 16, 2003 while in custody at a U.S. special forces base in Gardez. An investigation was opened by the U.S. military in mid-September 2004 to investigate whether the cause of death involved abuse by U.S. soldiers.
He was 18 years old at the time of death. He had been in custody for seventeen days. Others held at the time said they were "beaten, hung upside down and struck repeatedly with sticks, rubber hoses and cables." Some alleged they were "immersed in cold water, made to lie in the snow, or subjected to electric shocks." After Naseer's death, the other detainees were transferred to Afghan police custody.
