Biography
Ehsanullah (born 1977) is a citizen of Afghanistan who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba. His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 523. He worked as a farmer before he was recruited as a guard for the Taliban and served as such in Nahreen. After three months of working as a guard, the Northern Alliance took over the facility and he was handed over to US forces. Eventually he was sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba on June 12, 2002, for his supposed knowledge of leadership of the Taliban in the area. He was recommended for release on September 27, 2002, by Michael Dunlavey, because he was not a threat to the United States, nor could provide information of terrorist activity.
