Parkhudin is a citizen of Afghanistan who was held in extrajudicial detention in the Bagram Collection Point and in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps in Cuba.[1][2] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 896.
Tim Golden, of the New York Times, interviewed Parkhudin when he broke the story of how Habibullah and Dilawar died under torture at the Bagram Theater Internment Facility in 2005.[3]
The soldiers still wouldn't permit them to relax, often making noise to frighten them or keep them awake. Detainees remained hooded, causing further disorientation. "We did not know if it was day or night," said Parkhudin. "The lights were always on."
They were later visited by Mr. Dilawar's parents, who begged them to explain what had happened to their son. But the men said they could not bring themselves to recount the details. 'I told them he had a bed,' said Mr. Parkhudin. 'I said the Americans were very nice because he had a heart problem.'
