Six Guantánamo prisoners are known to have died in custody. They were

• ABDUL RAHMAN MA ATH THAFIR AL AMRI
• ABDUL RAZZAK
• ALI ABDULLAH AHMED
• MANA SHAMAN ALLABARDI AL TABI (or MANI SHAMAN TURKI AL HABARDI or MANI SHAMAN TURKI ALUTAYBI)
• MOHAMMAD AHMED ABDULLAH SALEH AL HANASHI
• YASSER TALAL AL ZAHRANI

Five of these deaths were reported as suicides (see news releases 1, 2, 3), while one was attributed to cancer (see this news release). Three of the suspected suicides were the subject of an investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (or NCIS), which concluded that these were all deaths by suicide (see this statement and these autopsies). In the two years taken by the NCIS investigation, questions arose about the exact circumstances of both these and the other deaths.

CSHRA laments that no full, open, timely, and independent investigation of any of these deaths have been carried out.
