Summary[edit]

Description
English: Previously unreleased photos of Guantanamo captives, 2002-01-11, FOIA in 2022
Original caption: "

A rare closeup of a detainee praying inside his cell at Camp X-Ray shows Yaser Esam Hamdi, who at Guantánamo was discovered to be an American-born Saudi citizen, shortly before he was moved from the base to a Navy brig at Norfolk, Va. The photographer, Lt. Cmdr. Shawn Eklund, later returned to Guantánamo Bay as a public affairs officer for the Office of Military Commissions and is currently serving aboard the aircraft carrier the Dwight D. Eisenhower.

  1. By the time of this photo, the third month of operations at Camp X-Ray, the International Committee of the Red Cross had provided each detainee with a traditional head covering known as a skullcap or kufi.
  2. You can see a chain-linked fence around the prisoner’s cell in the foreground.
  3. The prisoner was 21 years old on this day. Many of the first detainees were in their early 20s.
