Opis

This publication contains two reports. The first one Undue Process: An Examination of Detention and Trials of Bagram Detainees in April 2009 provides personal accounts of former detainees held by the U.S. military in the Bagram Theater Internment Facility in Afghanistan. The report describes how they were captured, treated in U.S. custody, what they know about the grounds for their detention, and whether they were able to challenge their detention. The report also provides background on U.S. detention operations and makes policy recommendations to the United States government. In September 2009, the Pentagon announced new detainee review procedures for detainees held by the United States. The policy paper Fixing Bagram: Strengthening Detention Reforms to Align with U.S. Strategic Priorities assesses the new review procedures and makes recommendations to further improve U.S. detention practices in Afghanistan.
