The ABC reported on July 28, 2002 that 30-year-old Fazal Mohammed was released from a US prison near Kandahar due to failing health. A Pakistani doctor who examined him said he had lost most of his vision. Fazal Mohammad claimed that he and other captives in Kandahar were subjected to sexual abuse and ferocious dogs. Their wounds and other medical conditions were reportedly left untreated, and they were fed starvation rations. Fazal Mohammad reported that at the time the Kandahar prison had held approximately 300 other inmates, including former Taliban Foreign Minister Wakil Ahmed Mutawakil, his spokesman Abdul Hai Mutmaen, and former Herat governor Maulawi Khairullah Khairkhawa.
