Release of non-Afghan captives from Bagram

During the dozen years before the United States handed over its notorious Bagram Theater Internment Facility to Afghan administration, the prison held close to ten thousand individuals. Approximately ten percent of the captives were foreign nationals, and most of them were transferred to the notorious Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba. However, a lesser number of foreign nationals continued to be held in Afghanistan, for a variety of reasons. And when the USA turned over nominal control of thousands of Afghan prisoners it continued to hold the foreigners.

Most of the foreigners identities remained unknown.
