reported that the Chief Justice encouraged the men to regard their detention as something sent from God.
The reports stated that the Chief Justice warned the cleared men that a candid description of their detention could damage the chances of other Afghan captives to be released.

"Don't tell these people the stories of your time in prison because the government is trying to secure the release of others, and it may harm the release of your friends."

Abdul Rahman was one of the three captives who chose to address the Press.
He was quoted as saying:

"There was a lot of bad treatment against us, but this is not the time to tell you," Rahman said. "Everybody in the world knows what kind of jail it is. I can't talk about it now." "In Cuba, our people are there without destiny. Some were taken from their homes, some were taken from their businesses, some were taken for the reason that they gave food to someone. Again I am requesting that our defenseless people be released."

Both reports quoted Chief Justice Fazil Hadi Shinwari distinguishing three categories of captives:

"There are three kinds of prisoners in Guantanamo. There are those that have committed crimes and should be there, then there are people who were falsely denounced, and third there are those who are there because of the mistakes of the Americans."
