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

• ABDUL RAHMAN MA ATH THAFIR AL AMRI (ISN 199)
• ABDUL RAZZAK (ISN 942)
• ALI ABDULLAH AHMED (ISN 693)
• AWAL GUL (ISN 782)
• INAYATULLAH (HAJJI NASSIM) (ISN UNDISCLOSED)
• MANA SHAMAN ALLABARDI AL TABI (or MANI SHAMAN TURKI AL HABARDI or MANI SHAMAN TURKI ALUTAYBI) (ISN 588)
• MOHAMMAD AHMED ABDULLAH SALEH AL HANASHI (ISN 78)
• YASSER TALAL AL ZAHRANI (ISN 93)

Six of these deaths were reported as suicides (see news releases 1, 2, 3, 4). while two others have been attributed to natural causes, be it cancer (see this news release) or heart problems (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 have arisen 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.
