Detention in Kandahar

Al Murbati participated in the hunger strikes of 2005.[4][5]

Allegations

The allegations against Al Murbati, from the Summary of Evidence memo, prepared for his Combatant Status Review Tribunal, were:[6]

a The detainee is associated with Al Qaeda:
On November 2, 2001, detainee voluntarily traveled from Bahrain to Afghanistan.

The detainee traveled to Afghanistan via Pakistan where he planned to fight in the Jihad.

Detainee was a follower of Abu Sayyef; they met in the Philippines. They discussed getting money to Arabs in Afghanistan.

Abu Sayyef Group is a known terrorist organization.

b The detainee participated in military operations against the United States and its coalition partners.
Detainee was injured by a grenade while traveling to Khowst, Afghanistan, and given treatment at a hospital.

Detainee was told that if he went to war and fought the Jihad, he would be a better person and have his 15,000 Dinar debt forgiven, and eventually he traveled to Afghanistan.

Al Murbati discovered that there was not training available in Kandahar, and since he did not know how to use a Kalisnikov rifle, he traveled to Kabul by taxi, after learning there was training there.

Habeas corpus submission

Al Murbati is one of the sixteen Guantanamo captives whose amalgamated habeas corpus submissions were heard by US District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton, on January 31, 2007.[7]

Al Murbati has been represented by Joshua Colangelo-Bryan and Clive Stafford Smith. A campaign to free him is being led by Bahraini MP Mohammed Khalid.

Release

Al Murbati was released during August 2007. He was the last Bahraini to be released. On Thursday, August 23, 2007, the Gulf Daily News reported that Bahraini Member of Parliament Mohammed Khalid had called for the Bahrain government to provide financial compensation to the released men.[8]
