ISLAMABAD: Fourteen Pakistani prisoners were discharged from US care in Bagram Prison in Afghanistan and repatriated to Pakistan on Saturday, a Pakistani lawful firm speaking to a percentage of the detainees said.
Equity Project Pakistan (JPP) has been speaking to a few Bagram prisoners since 2010 in an offer to drive the Pakistani government to bring them home.
So far no data has been given by the Pakistani powers on the names of the discharged prisoners or their current whereabouts, said Sarah Belal, a legal counselor with the JPP.
One of the discharged prisoners is 29-year-old Abdul Halim Saifullah, Belal said, refering to data from the Red Cross.
She said he vanished nine years back from the southern city of Karachi in the wake of dropping his father off at a healing facility and has been kept in Bagram following the time when.
Counting the gathering discharged on Saturday, 39 Pakistanis have been discharged from Bagram in the previous 10 months. No less than one Pakistani is thought to still be in jail there, in spite of the fact that the definite numbers are indistinct since no official rundown has been given since 2012.
Sarah Belal, lead counsel for Justice Project Pakistan, said the legislature did not educate the families about the discharge and she dreaded the men might now be exchanged to mystery Pakistani penitentiaries.
"We still don't think about the whereabouts of the nine prisoners discharged a month ago. The absence of clarity with today's tranche provides for us motivation to expect that they excessively may be held incommunicado by the Pakistani powers," she said.
