Siddiqui was detained on July 15, 2003, after he reported police corruption and someone then accused him of being a member of the Taliban. He alleges he was held for about 40 days at three different U.S. bases: Gardez, Kandahar and Bagram.

Siddiqui is one of 44 complaints submitted to the United Nations by Ahmed Zia Langari, a member of the Afghan Human Rights Commission.

Siddiqui told the "New York Times" that in Kandahar, detainees were packed into wire cages and forced to use a bucket as a toilet in front of other detainees. He also said soldiers threw stones and bottles at detainees.
