Qari Esmhatulla is a citizen of Afghanistan who was held in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1][2]
Esmhatulla's Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 591.[1] The Department of Defense's official list of detainee names released on May 15, 2006 estimates that Esmhatulla was born in 1984 in Ramsha, Pakistan but Esmhatulla stated he was only sixteen when he was captured.
Qari Esmhatulla was captured in Afghanistan in March 2002 and transferred to Afghanistan on October 11, 2006.[3]
Reports quoted Esmhatulla testifying that he served with the Taliban for just four days, and that he joined up to help his fellow Pashtun speaker fight the Persian speaking tribes from the north, where the Northern Alliance was based, that he had not joined to fight Americans.[4][5]
