Individuals reported to have been held in the Panjshir prison

Salim Ahmed Hamdan	Andy Worthington, the author of The Guantanamo Files, reported that an Afghan prison in Panjshir had been used to house ghost prisoners.[2] He reported that Salim Ahmed Hamdan was held in an Afghan prison in Panjshir, where the staff at the prison “repeatedly tied him up, put a bag over his head and knocked him to the ground,” and used "hand torture" on him.
Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi	According to Worthington Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi was also held, for a time, in the Panjshir prison.[3]
Sanad al-Kazimi	Omar Deghayes told Worthington that Sanad al-Kazimi told him about the Panjshir prison.[3]
Abu Yahya al-Libi	According to Worthington Abu Yahya al-Libi was one of four captives who made a surprising escape from the Bagram Internment Facility, who described also being held in the Panjshir prison, who identified twelve other captives held there.[3]

"This permits coerced evidence and hearsay, if the judge considers them to be “reliable” and “probative,” and Judge Allred confirmed that Hamdan had indeed been subjected to legally dubious treatment by ruling out the use of any testimony obtained when he was held in Afghanistan after his capture, both at the US-run prison at Bagram, and, as had never previously been disclosed, at an Afghan prison in the Panjshir Valley, north of Kabul. The Panjshir prison was one of several prisons in which, as my research for The Guantánamo Files revealed, numerous “ghost prisoners” who ended up in Bagram were subjected to what one of the prison’s captives, a Libyan who escaped from Bagram in July 2005, later described as “hard torture.”"

"Furthermore, Omar Deghayes told me that, in Guantánamo, another prisoner had spoken about being held with al-Libi in the Panjshir prison. That prisoner — who is still held — is Sanad al-Kazimi, a Yemeni seized in the United Arab Emirates in January 2003, who was then rendered to secret CIA prisons in Afghanistan — including the “Dark Prison” — where he was tortured for a year and eight months before being transferred to Guantánamo."
