Mohammed Aman (detainee)
Aman or Mohammed Aman (born 1957) is a citizen of Afghanistan who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 1074. American intelligence analysts report he was born in 1957, in Malik Village, Kardez. Afghanistan.
Aman was captured in Afghanistan in May 2002 and transferred to Afghanistan on October 11, 2006.[2]
Habeas corpus submissions
Mohammed Amon is one of the sixteen Guantanamo captives whose amalgamated habeas corpus submissions were heard by US District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton on January 31, 2007.[3]
On April 17, 2007 the United States Department of Justice argued that Amon v. Bush should be considered moot, because "Mohammed Amon" had been transferred from US custody.[4]
Release
According to the Seattle Post Intelligencer Aman said: [5]
- "I was relaxed because I was innocent. I was sure I would be freed. I was always thinking that today or tomorrow I will be free."
Aman described being shipped to Afghanistan in black googles, ear-muffs, shackles after three years of detention.[5]
