¶1. (S/REL TO IRoA) On September 29, the second transfer of
Afghans from Guantanamo Bay (GTMO) to the Afghan National
Detention Facility (ANDF) occurred. PolMilOff alerted Malik
Quraishi, Director of Policy and Oversight at IRoA's Office
of the National Security Council (ONSC) beforehand that a
transfer would occur and on September 29 provided him with a
list of the six detainees transferred.
¶2. (S/REL TO IRoA) This transfer brings the total of Afghans
from GTMO in the ANDF to 11 and the overall total of Afghans
in the ANDF to 116. The National Directorate of Security
(NDS) will now begin investigating these six new cases and is
completing investigations of the 29 detainees transferred to
ANDF in August from GTMO and Bagram Theater Internment
Facility (BTIF). NDS has completed investigations of the 26
detainees transferred from BTIF to ANDF in July and has
relayed charges for them all to the Attorney General's
National Security Prosecutor. For detainees transferred
between April and June, the Prosecutor has relayed 55
indictments to judges in the newly designated court for
handling detainee trials (ref two).
¶3. (S/NF) Post thanks GTMO and OSD for providing a list on
September 21 of Afghan GTMO detainees including the requested
data points in Dari (ref one). We view GTMO and OSD approval
of CSTC-A's draft Transfer Protocol (ref three),including
its provisions for relay of translated evidentiary files, as
key to the smooth conduct of future transfers from GTMO.
