Rami Bin Said Al Taibi (Arabic: رامي بن سعيد الطيبي) or Rami al-Juaid is a Saudi Arabian who was held in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1] Al Taibi's Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 318. The Department of Defense reports that Al Taibi was born on December 24, 1980, in Ta'if, Saudi Arabia.
Rami Bin Said al Taibi was transferred to Saudi Arabia on Sept. 5, 2007.[2]
Combatant Status Review Tribunal[]
The neutrality of this section is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (December 2007) |
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 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.
Allegations[]
A memorandum summarizing the evidence against Al Taibi prepared for his Combatan Status Reiew Tribunal, was among those released in March 2005.[6]
The allegations Al Taibi faced were:
- a. The detainee is associated with al Qaida:
- The detainee traveled to Afghanistan from Saudi Arabia in approximately August 2001.
- The detainee received training at a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan.
- The detainee's name was included in a computer file recovered from an al Qaida safehouse in Islamabad that listed prisoners currently incarcerated in Pakistan.
- The detainee's name was found in a document recovered from an al Qaida safehouse in Karachi.
- The detainee's name was listed as al Qaida Mujahidin who had not yet completed training in a document recovered from an al Qaida safehouse in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
- One of the detainee's known aliases was on a list of captured al Qaida members that was discovered on a computer hard drive associated with a senior al Qaida member.
