ISN 103 -- Arkin Mahmud

first annual review

• The detainee stayed one and one half months in a guesthouse in Kabul.
• The detainee was told he had to leave the Kabul guesthouse, and he traveled to a house in Konduz.
  • In answer to a question as to what he did during the 6 weeks he stayed in the Kabul guesthouse:

    "They would not let me go outside. The people who ran the house would not let me go out because I did not have a beard or anything like that. They told me that if I left the house that the Taliban would hurt me. They told me if I left the house the Taliban would create trouble for the host of the guesthouse... When I was at the guesthouse in Kabul the bombing started. I requested to the people at the guesthouse that I wanted to leave. They told me all the borders were closed. They told me ok, that I could go, but that I should go to Konduz because it was a little bit safer there."
