Revision as of 00:35, 24 June 2006
Abdul Hakim Bukhary is a citizen of Saudi Arabia, held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, in Cuba.[1] His detainee ID number is 493.
Combatant Status Review Tribunal
Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Geneva Conventions to captives from the war on terror. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct a competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of prisoner of war status.
Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were lawful combatants -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an enemy combatant.
Bukhary chose to participate in his Combatant Status Review Tribunal.[2]
According to the BBC Bukhary had been jailed by the Taliban for expressing approval of Ahmed Shah Massood, a Northern Alliance leader assassinated on September 9 2001.[3]
Bukhary had originally traveled to Afghanistan to help the Taliban. But
Bukhary had previously fought against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. [4] He told his tribunal he: "... was once ready to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan. But the former holy warrior has told his American captors he now loves democracy – and that hardline Taliban fighters prompted his conversion."
allegations
Among the allegations against Bukhary were:[2]
- The detainee met Usama Bin Laden in Afghanistan.
- The detainee attended the Al Qaida training camp at Al Farouq for one day.
- The detainee stayed at a guesthouse in Afghanistan.
- The detainee admits long time affiliations with Jama’at Tablighi.
- The detainee stayed with Jama’at Tablighi prior to 11 September 2001.
- Jama’at Tablighi, a Pakistan based Islamic missionary organization, is being used as a cover to mask travel and activities of terrorists, including members of Al Qaida.
- The detainee engaged in hostilities against the United States and its coalition partners.
Administrative Review Board hearing
Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual Administrative Review Board hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".
They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat -- or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.
Bukhary chose to participate in his Administrative Review Board hearing.[5]
