Accusations and Rebuttals: The Case Against Hamad

Adel Hamad has never been accused of a belligerent act against the United States. Despite not being captured on a battlefield (Mr. Hamad was arrested in the middle of the night from his bed) the U.S. nevertheless categorized him as an enemy combatant. Below are the 3 allegations that the administrative tribunal uses to justify Mr. Hamad's continued detention. There is little logical consistency to these allegations as you will discover when you read the rebuttals following each one.

Possible Release

Thanks to all of you who have signed up as members, who have protested in Adel Hamad's name, or who have helped to spread word of his story. People have risen to the occasion, and we appreciate that very much.

We wanted to let you know that lawyers for Adel Hamad recently received word that he is on a list of those who have been approved to leave Guantanamo. While this is great news, and we remain very hopeful that he will soon be home in Sudan with his family, there is reason to continue following his case very closely. For one thing, there's indication he's been on this list for up to a year or more, and it hasn't yet resulted in his release.

Other factors to pay attention to are whether the United States will reverse his "Enemy Combatant" status upon his release, and whether or not he will encounter further hassles or detention with the Sudanese government. Finally, the conditions that allowed Adel Hamad's indefinite detention are still in place: the Military Commissions Act of 2006 continues to deny basic habeas corpus rights to detainees of the U.S. government, preventing access to the federal courts, and access to proper counsel.

For more detailed information, visit our blog:

Please write letters indicating your desire to see Adel Hamad released home to his family with his enemy combatant status reversed (addresses below). It's important to remind officials that we are watching the process and keeping an eye on the fate of Mr. Hamad, and others like him who have been held for years without cause.

Thanks again for your participation in the project.

Cheers,
Laura, Ben & David
