Ghassan al-Sharbi: Difference between revisions

Captured in [[Faisalabad]], [[Pakistan]] in March 2002, al-Sharbi was transferred to Guantanamo Bay later that year. In 2006, al-Sharbi told a military commission that he was a member of [[al-Qaeda]] and proud of his actions against the United States. Serious war crimes charges were dropped against him in October 2008, as it had been found they were based on evidence gained through [[torture]] of [[Abu Zubaydah]]. They may be refiled. Al-Sharbi had a [[habeas corpus]] petition which his father had initiated on his behalf; when it reached the court in March 2009, al-Sharbi requested that it be dismissed. He did not want to pursue it.
