Mustafa Ait Idir is an Algerian national resident in Bosnia. He is 33 years old.
He was taken into custody by the government of Bosnia-Herzegovinia. He was later seized, along with 5 other Algerian national, Bosnian residents, by US officials on 18th January 2002. They were transferred to Guantanamo Bay.
The wife of Mustafa Ait Idir said in June 2003 that she had not heard from her husband since October 2002, although she is reported to have received a letter since.
She was 17 weeks pregnant when her husband was transferred to Guantánamo Bay, and has since given birth to a child her husband has never seen.
It is reported that the six Bosnian detainees have been treated particularly badly in Guantanamo Bay. They were moved every two hours. They were kept naked in their cells. They were taken to interrogation for hours on end. They were short shackled for sometimes days on end. They were deprived of their sleep. They never got letters, nor books, nor reading materials. They were given a very hard time by their interrogators. The interrogators said if they didn’t cooperate that they could ensure that something would happen to their families in Algeria and in Bosnia.
His last note to his family late 2003 was:
"I have been in this place day by day without knowing why I am here".
