Saifullah Abdullah Paracha (born August 17, 1947) is a citizen of Pakistan who was held, without any charge, in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba for over 18 years.

[7][8] The Department of Defense reports that Paracha was born on August 17, 1947, in Mangowal Kalan, village in tehsil Shahpur of District Sargodha in Punjab Pakistan.

He graduated from a university in Karachi with a degree in physics and attended New York Institute of Technology, studying computer systems analysis.

[citation needed] At the time of his capture, Paracha legally resided in the United States, in Queens, New York City.

[12] In response, on December 21, 2004, the Department of Defense published fifty-eight pages of unclassified documents related to his Combatant Status Review Tribunal.

That's a very good question.On June 2, 2008 Zachary Katznelson appealed to the Pakistani government for assistance, stating:[14][15] Political intervention is the only hope for Saifullah Paracha to receive justice.On January 21, 2009, the day he was inaugurated, United States President Barack Obama issued three Executive orders related to the detention of individuals in Guantanamo Bay.

When it reported back, a year later, the Joint Review Task Force classified some individuals as too dangerous to be transferred from Guantanamo, even though there was no evidence to justify laying charges against them.

[23] On July 3, 2018, 15 years after his arrest, Uzair's conviction was deemed void by Judge Sidney H. Stein based on newly discovered statements made by Ammar Al Baluchi, Majid Khan and Khalid Sheikh Mohammad.
