Abdul Jabar (Bagram detainee)


Abdul Jabar is a citizen of Afghanistan who was held in detention in the American Bagram Collection Point in 2002. Jabar was a taxi driver who was held in a cell near fellow taxi driver Dilawar, who was detained by American forces following a rocket attack on Firebase Salerno. Jabar reported hearing Dilawar's cries and experiencing similar abuse.
Jabar told The New York Times that he saw Dilawar experiencing difficulty when he was brought in, and counseled him not to struggle, which would only make things worse. Dilawar died on December 10, 2002, five days after he arrived in Bagram.
