\Shams Ullah (also transliterated as Shamsullah) 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 783. Department of Defense intelligence analysts estimated he was born in 1986.
Shams Ullah was transferred to Afghanistan on Oct. 11, 2006.[2]
American intelligence analysts estimate that Ullah was born in 1986, in Gulnoon Khan, Afghanistan.[1]
One of Shamsullah's uncles, Bostan Karim, is also detained at Guantanamo.[3] Karim said that Shamsullah was captured together with his father, another uncle, and a cousin. Shamsullah's father and cousin were eventually released. His other uncle remains held in detention in Bagram.
Uncle Karim suggested that suspicion that had been cast on him by false allegations from his former partner Abaidullah had led American forces to capture his male relatives.[3] Abaidullah has since recanted the allegations he made. He asserts he made them during abusive interrogation while held at Bagram.[4]
Reprieve says that Shamsullah was shot in the leg when he was captured, and his leg was so badly injured that amputation was considered.[5]
