Tariq Mahmood is a British Pakistani who was reportedly captured in Islamabad by Pakistani security forces in October 2003 and his whereabouts are unknown since then.[1][2][3][4]
He was held on suspicion of being associated with a "banned organization" under the Security of Pakistan Act, Section 10,[5] and was not given immediate access to courts despite his British citizenship.[6]
Mahmood was initially assigned a 10 November 2003 court date in Islamabad, and made court appearances over the following four weeks.[5][6] However despite the ongoing legal process, his whereabouts became unclear by early 2004.[7][8] Pakistani security reportedly turned him over to American forces, prompting fears he would be sent to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.[1] In February 2004, Pakistani intelligence sources indicated Tariq Mahmood may already have been transported to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, a "stepping stone" to Guantanamo Bay.[9]
Human Rights Watch listed him as one of 39 "disappeared" detainees in 2005, whose whereabouts were unknown since being captured and sent to the CIA.[10]
On 30 October 2011, Tariq Mahmood was reported as possibly among British Guantanamo detainees scheduled to be released under a repatriation deal to take place around 25 December, though his presence at Guantanamo could not be confirmed.[11]
