  • United States District Court for the District of Columbia
    UNCLASSIFIEDIIFOR PUBLIC RELEASE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ABDUL ZAHIR, Petitioner, v. Civil Action No. 05-1623 (RWR) GEORGE W. BUSH et al., Respondents. MEMORANDUM ORDER Petitioner Abdul Zahir, a detainee at Guantanamo Bay, has moved under Section I.E.2 of the Case Management Order ("CMO") for an order allowing him to propound to the respondents 84 numbered interrogatories, many containing multiple sub-parts, and eight requests for production of documents. The respondents oppose Zahir's requests, arguing that they are overbroad, that they exceed the scope of discovery that was contemplated by Section I.E.2 of the CMO, and that Zahir fails to make the necessary showing that granting his requests would produce evidence material to the lawfulness of Zahir's continued detention. Because Zahir does not support several of his requests by showing how the requested discovery will enable him to rebut the factual basis for his detention, his motion for leave to file those requests will be denied. However, because the respondents do not show how answering several of Zahir's UNCLASSIFIEDIIFOR PUBLIC RELEASE UNCLASSIFIEDIIFOR PUBLIC RELEASE -2­ requests would be unfairly disruptive or burdensome to them, Zahir's motion for leave to propound those requests will be granted. BACKGROUND Zahir has been a detainee at the United States Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba ("Guantanamo") since b(1 ) The respondents allege in their amended factual return that for approximately three years before the Taliban fell from power in December 2001, Zahir "worked closely as the translator and trusted assistant of a senior al-Qaida commander in Afghanistan" named Abdul Hadi aI-Iraqi ["al-Hadi"], who was purportedly al­ Qaida's "commander in northern Kabul," and that Zahir "assisted in the management of al-Qaida guesthouses, procurement of supplies and funding for al-Qaida's fighters, coordination of al­ Qaida and Taliban military activities, and the handling of money for al-Qaida-sponsored activities."

  • AFGHANISTAN Detention and Killing of Political Personalities
    AFGHANISTAN Detention and killing of political personalities 1. Introduction Up to 200 Afghan political personalities have been arrested in the past year apparently on account of their peaceful political activities and opposition to the continued armed conflict in the country. Those arrested include Afghan intellectuals, community leaders, former army officers or civil servants. The vast majority of the detainees are reportedly non-combatants arrested solely for their activities in support of peace and a broad based government in Afghanistan. Most of these detainees have reportedly been severely tortured. Over a dozen of them have been killed after their arrest. Some of the detainees have been released but as of February 1999, around 100 still remain in detention. This report covers the period between early 1998 and early 1999 and deals specifically with human rights violations against Afghan political personalities in southern and eastern Afghanistan. Amnesty International has dealt with human rights violations in other parts of the country in earlier reports. The information in this report is from interviews with former detainees or those with detailed personal knowledge of these arrests and killings. Amnesty International wishes to reiterate that it neither supports nor opposes any of the warring factions, that its concerns about human rights abuses in Afghanistan is based on its mandate and the principles of international human rights and humanitarian law. Amnesty International has highlighted human rights violations in Afghanistan for more than two decades, including throughout the Soviet invasion and as well as under the respective administrations of Zahir Shah and of former presidents Davoud, Taraki, Amin, Karmal, Najibullah, Mujaddedi, and Rabbani.

  • Afghanistan: Politics, Elections, and Government Performance
    Afghanistan: Politics, Elections, and Government Performance Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs May 12, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21922 Afghanistan: Politics, Elections, and Government Performance Summary The capacity, transparency, and legitimacy of Afghan governance are considered crucial to Afghan stability as U.S.-led NATO forces turn over the security mission to Afghan leadership. The size and capability of the Afghan governing structure has increased significantly since the Taliban regime fell in late 2001, but the government remains weak and rife with corruption. The government has slowly widened its writ, even though substantial powers are concentrated in the elected presidency through powers of appointment at all levels. President Hamid Karzai has served as president since late 2001; he is constitutionally term-limited and will leave office after the conclusion of presidential and provincial elections the first round of which took place on April 5, 2014. Several major figures registered to run for president, and many of their slates included faction leaders long accused of human rights abuses. Karzai appeared to tilt toward his longtime confidant and former Foreign Minister, Zalmay Rasoul, but the final, uncertified vote count showed Northern Alliance “opposition” leader Dr. Abdullah Abdullah with nearly 45% of the vote and former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani with about 31.5%. Abdullah’s total, if certified, is close to but still short of the 50%+ needed for victory. A runoff round is tentatively scheduled for June 7. There are discussions among the major candidates, President Karzai, and other senior figures on a settlement that might avoid the runoff.

  • Afghanistan: Politics, Elections, and Government Performance
    Afghanistan: Politics, Elections, and Government Performance Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs November 8, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21922 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Afghanistan: Politics, Elections, and Government Performance Summary The limited capacity and widespread corruption of all levels of Afghan governance are factors in debate over the effectiveness of U.S. policy in Afghanistan and in implementing a transition to Afghan security leadership by the end of 2014. The capacity of the formal Afghan governing structure has increased significantly since the Taliban regime fell in late 2001, but many positions, particularly at the local level, are unfilled. Widespread illiteracy limits expansion of a competent bureaucracy. A dispute over the results of the 2010 parliamentary elections paralyzed governance for nearly a year and was resolved in September 2011 with the unseating on the grounds of fraud of nine winners of the elected lower house of parliament. Karzai also has tried, through direct denials, to quell assertions by his critics that he wants to stay in office beyond the 2014 expiration of his second term, the limits under the constitution. While trying, with mixed success, to build the formal governing structure, Afghan President Hamid Karzai also works through an informal power structure centered around his close ethnic Pashtun allies as well as other ethnic and political faction leaders. Some faction leaders oppose Karzai on the grounds that he is too willing to make concessions to insurgent leaders in search of a settlement—a criticism that grew following the September 20 assassination of the most senior Tajik leader, former President Burhanuddin Rabbani.

  • Afghanistan Before the Invasions: the Subversion of Democracy in 1973
    Afghanistan before the Invasions: The Subversion of Democracy in 1973 Khalida Ramyar A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Sociology York University Toronto, Ontario May 2015 © Khalida Ramyar, 2015 Abstract Using the Wikileaks PlusD Archive of US State Department cables from Kabul in 1973, this thesis presents an analysis of the politics of the Helmand Water Treaty between Afghanistan and Iran and the role of the US in Afghanistan's politics at the time. The analysis of the cables shows: a) that US policy was directed towards the promotion of neoliberalism in Afghanistan; b) that Afghanistan in 1973 was the site of a largely neglected struggle for democracy, and c) that the US, as well as the Afghan establishment, worked together to suppress this democratic struggle. These broader political dynamics are illustrated through a focus on the Helmand Water Treaty as discussed in the cables. ii Dedication For my love Justin, without whom nothing is possible, and for Cyrus, my little Halfghan, for whom I hope this narrative fills some of the gaps in the road to self-discovery. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank: My supervisors, Tania Das Gupta, and Michael Nijhawan, for giving me a lot of freedom and flexibility, for believing in the story, and for being endlessly helpful. The Graduate Program Director of Sociology when I entered the program, Kathy Bischoping, for giving my application a chance.

  • Music in Afghanistan
    Afghanistan: Multidisciplinary Perspectives Music in Afghanistan By Hiromi Lorraine Sakata The Meaning of “Music” in Afghanistan The meaning of music in the West is broadly defined as humanly organized sound and includes both religious and secular music, both vocal and instrumental music, and music performed by both professional and amateur musicians. However, the meaning of music in Afghanistan is quite a bit more restrictive than our general understanding of the concept of music. It is secular, never religious. It is more instrumental than vocal, and it is performed mainly by professional musicians and sometimes by amateur musicians. There is a general notion that music is religiously disapproved of in Islam, yet there is not one word of censure in the Qur’an about music. Instead, the definition of music and its standing is dependent upon an understanding of its perceived distance from religiously sanctioned or praiseworthy activities. For example, Qur’anic recitations or calls to prayers—no matter how musical they sound—are never considered music. The same can be said for lullabies when mothers sing to their children. Yet when they are accompanied by musical instruments and sung by professional musicians to a public audience, they are considered music. These examples show that factors other than musical sound are important considerations in the Afghan definition of music. The mainstay of Islam is the Qur’an, the revelations of God as passed on to the Prophet Mohammad. The “voice” and the “pen” that convey the sounds and words of Qur’anic recitation are regarded with great respect and value in the Muslim world.
