Amal Khan
Date.16 Feb, 2016
Amal Khan is 28 years of age. In July 2002, he left the family home in Mansehra to look for work. He vanished shortly thereafter.
Unable to understand why he was not in contact for seven months, his family lived in terror that he had somehow been killed. In early 2003, they learnt that he was being held prisoner in Bagram, and by 2004 they had been able to speak with him there through the ICRC. He is not allowed to tell them how he came to be there, however, and any time he has tried to talk about this, or the treatment he has received, the line has been cut. Since Amal Khan’s disappearance, his family has suffered severe emotional hardship, and his mother breaks down each time she tries to speak to him.
