• Seeking assurances that he is being given appropriate medical care and urging that independent medical experts be allowed to visit him in Guantánamo to assess his health;
• Calling for them to keep Saifullah Paracha’s family fully informed of his status, health and well-being, and to ensure that he has adequate communication with his family;
• Calling for them to close the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay and either release the detainees held there or charge and try them in ordinary civilian courts in full accordance with international standards, without recourse to the death penalty.

Write to the Pakistani authorities:

• Noting that Saifullah Paracha, and approximately 11 other Pakistani nationals remain detained in Guantánamo and that none has had the opportunity to challenge the lawfulness of his detention;
• Calling on the Pakistani authorities to make representations to US authorities on behalf of all Pakistani nationals still detained at Guantánamo;
• Seeking assurances that the relatives of the detainees are being fully informed of developments in their cases and provided with full information on their welfare;
• Seeking information about the situation of the Pakistani nationals believed to have already been returned to Pakistan;
