United States Synopsis DJAMEL AMEZIANE Detained at Guantánamo since February 2002; cleared for transfer since October 2008 *Photo credits: Center for Constitutional Rights See Djamel Ameziane's short profile and learn what you can do for him. Djamel Ameziane is an Algerian ref ugee who has been detained in Guantánamo Bay since 2002. He has a pending habeas corpus petition, Ameziane v. Obama, in the D.C. District Court. He has a petition and request f or precautionary measures, Ameziane v. United States, f iled with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). Like many other habeas petitions, Mr. Ameziane’s habeas case was stayed pending the outcome of the Boumediene and Al Odah cases in the Supreme Court, which were decided June 12, 2008. The Supreme Court ruled that detainees at Guantánamo Bay have the constitutional right to have their habeas corpus petitions heard in a U.S. f ederal court. Subsequently, the stay in Mr. Ameziane’s habeas case was lif ted and the case began to move f orward rapidly. However, in June 2009, the D.C. District Court again stayed the case indef initely based on his approval f or transf er. Mr. Ameziane’s IACHR petition and request f or precautionary measures is the f irst merits petition by a person detained by the United States at Guantánamo Bay, asking the IACHR to consider the torture, abuse, and other human rights violations perpetrated against him, including his continuing indef inite detention without charge or trial.

  • Submission to the United Nations Committee Against Torture In
    Submission to the United Nations Committee Against Torture in relation to the United States of America’s One-Year Follow-up Response to the Committee’s Concluding Observations and Recommendations 1 March 2016 I. Introduction 1. The Redress Trust (REDRESS), the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ), and the World Organisation against Torture (OMCT)1 (the organisations) are making this submission in response to the United States of America (State party)’s One-Year Follow-up response to the Recommendations of this Committee (follow-up response).2 In advance of the 2014 State examination, we submitted a report to this Committee expressing profound concern at the fact that the State party had compounded far-reaching violations of international law by constructing an unprecedented system of secrecy around certain detainees, including those facing capital charges in military trials at Guantánamo Bay, thereby silencing a category of victims of torture and other ill-treatment through detention, isolation and classification of information.3 2. This Committee identified four “principal subjects of concern and recommendations” for follow up in its Concluding Observations.4 In this submission we focus on two of these subjects: “Inquiries into allegations of torture overseas” and “Guantánamo Bay detention facilities”, which are most closely linked to the original submission we made jointly in advance of the State party’s examination. 3. The organisations note the reiteration in the State party’s follow up response of its understanding “that where the text of the Convention provides that obligations apply to a State Party in ‘any territory under its jurisdiction,’ such obligations extend to certain places beyond the sovereign territory of the State Party, and more specifically, ‘territory under its jurisdiction’ extends to ‘all places that the State Party controls as a governmental authority.’”5 We would recommend to the Committee to urge the United States (U.S.) 1 Please see Annex 1 for an overview of each of the organisations.

  • The Thistle and the Drone
    AKBAR AHMED HOW AMERICA’S WAR ON TERROR BECAME A GLOBAL WAR ON TRIBAL ISLAM n the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the United States declared war on terrorism. More than ten years later, the results are decidedly mixed. Here world-renowned author, diplomat, and scholar Akbar Ahmed reveals an important yet largely ignored result of this war: in many nations it has exacerbated the already broken relationship between central I governments and the largely rural Muslim tribal societies on the peripheries of both Muslim and non-Muslim nations. The center and the periphery are engaged in a mutually destructive civil war across the globe, a conflict that has been intensified by the war on terror. Conflicts between governments and tribal societies predate the war on terror in many regions, from South Asia to the Middle East to North Africa, pitting those in the centers of power against those who live in the outlying provinces. Akbar Ahmed’s unique study demonstrates that this conflict between the center and the periphery has entered a new and dangerous stage with U.S. involvement after 9/11 and the deployment of drones, in the hunt for al Qaeda, threatening the very existence of many tribal societies. American firepower and its vast anti-terror network have turned the war on terror into a global war on tribal Islam. And too often the victims are innocent children at school, women in their homes, workers simply trying to earn a living, and worshipers in their mosques. Bat- tered by military attacks or drone strikes one day and suicide bombers the next, the tribes bemoan, “Every day is like 9/11 for us.” In The Thistle and the Drone, the third vol- ume in Ahmed’s groundbreaking trilogy examin- ing relations between America and the Muslim world, the author draws on forty case studies representing the global span of Islam to demon- strate how the U.S.

Since the military brought the first detainees to Guantánamo in January 2002, the Pentagon has consistently refused to comprehensively identify those it holds. While it has, at various times, released information about individuals who have been detained at Guantánamo, it has always maintained ambiguity about the population of the facility at any given moment, declining even to specify precisely the number of detainees held at the base. We have sought to identify the detainee population using a variety of records, mostly from habeas corpus litigation, and we have sorted the current population into subgroups using both the government’s allegations against detainees and detainee statements about their own affiliations and conduct.

  • Wartime Detention Provisions in Recent Defense Authorization Legislation
    Wartime Detention Provisions in Recent Defense Authorization Legislation Jennifer K. Elsea Legislative Attorney Michael John Garcia Legislative Attorney January 23, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42143 Wartime Detention Provisions in Recent Defense Authorization Legislation Summary In recent years, Congress has included provisions in annual defense authorization bills addressing issues related to detainees at the U.S. Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and, more broadly, the disposition of persons captured in the course of hostilities against Al Qaeda and associated forces. The National Defense Authorization Act for FY2012 (2012 NDAA; P.L. 112-81) arguably constituted the most significant legislation informing wartime detention policy since the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF; P.L. 107-40), which serves as the primary legal authority for U.S. operations against Al Qaeda and associated forces. Much of the debate surrounding passage of the 2012 NDAA centered on what appeared to be an effort to confirm or, as some observers view it, expand the detention authority that Congress implicitly granted the President via the AUMF in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. But the 2012 NDAA addressed other issues as well, including the continued detention of persons at Guantanamo. Both the 2013 NDAA (P.L. 112-239) and the 2014 NDAA (P.L. 113-66) also contain subtitles addressing U.S. detention policy, though neither act addresses detention matters as comprehensively as did the 2012 NDAA. The FY2015 NDAA (P.L. 113-291) and the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (2015 Cromnibus; P.L.
