Shawali Khan was born 1983 in Arghandab district, Kandahar Province in Afghanistan. He arrived at Guantanamo 20021207 and repatriated to Kabul 20141220. Shawali's confidential file says he was simply a merchant, denounced for a bounty. Shawali Khan was listed as one of the captives who the military alleges are associated with both Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
 

Shah Wali Khan was first identified as a CIA prisoner in the Appendix to the SSCI report, where he was listed as detainee #33. Analysis by The Rendition Project and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has established that he was transferred into CIA custody at some point between 15 November 2002 and 9 December 2002. According to calculations by the SCCI, he was held by the CIA for just under a month (20-29 days), believed to have been transferred out of CIA custody at some point between 5 December 2002 and 7 January 2003. Although nothing more is said about Khan in the report, the dates of his detention match closely with those of former Guantánamo Bay prisoner Shawali Khan. Assuming that these are the same individuals, DoD records document that Khan was captured by US Special Forces on 15 November 2002. He was then transferred to CIA custody where, according to calculations published by the SSCI, he was held for 3-4 weeks. Nothing is known about his fate and whereabouts during this time although, in an apparent reference to his period of CIA detention, Khan testified to the Combatant Status Review Tribunal that “they tied our hands and left us hanging like this for one month. They put us in a small box.” DoD records show that Khan was transferred to Guantánamo Bay on 6 February 2003, likely after being held at Bagram Airbase for several weeks. He was held in Guantánamo Bay until 20 December 2014, at which point he was transferred to Afghanistan. His current whereabouts are unknown.
