PLACES OF ARREST, DATES OF TRANSFER, AND TIME IN US SECRET DETENTION IN
AFGHANISTAN OF FIVE LIBYANS HELD IN US CUSTODY
The dates in the table are approximations based on the accounts of the five Libyans as well as corroborating
information from other detainees thought to be held in the same location. For example, the transfer between
the different Afghan facilities is believed to have been around April 25, 2004, but that may not be the exact
date for each detainee.
*) The dates for Di'iki are estimates. He said he was arrested on October 12, 2003, detained in the first
location in Mauritania for about two to three weeks, and then in the second place for about two weeks. That
would have occurred around November 12-19, 2003. He said he was then sent to Morocco, where he was held
for about one month.
That took place around December 8-15, 2003. He said he was then transferred to Afghanistan in early January
2004; he thought it was around January 7, 2004. If that is correct, it would mean he was in detention either in
Mauritania or Morocco for longer than he thinks, or he is mistaken about the date of transfer to Afghanistan. In
either case, he said he was forcibly returned from a second facility in Afghanistan to Libya on August 22, 2004.
**) The dates for the time Maghrebi was in the first and second location in Afghanistan are estimates. He said
that in the first location he was in his first cell for about two months, then another cell for about 15 days and then
a third cell for another one and a half to two months. This would put him in the first cell until around February 10,
2004, the second cell until March 10, 2004, and the third cell until sometime between March 10 and April 25,
2004. Several other detainees said they were transferred around April 25, 2004 to a second location and
Maghrebi said he was with about six other people during his transfer, so we believe that he was moved to the
second location on that same date. The April 25 date is consistent with his assertion that he was held in the
second facility for about four months and was returned to Libya on August 22, 2004 with Shoroeiya and Di'iki.
