Farhi Saeed bin Mohammed, also known as Saiid Farhi, is an Algerian previously unlawfully held in the United States's Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.[1][2]

He was released to the government of Algeria on January 6, 2011.[3]
[edit] Background
Saiid Farhi is one of the detainees who was held in Guantanamo without charge.[4] His first writ of habeas corpus was filed in 2004. He had a new writ of habeas corpus filed in 2008 – Civil Action No. 08-CV-1347. He has a thirty-day protective order filed on his behalf—requiring the government to advise his attorney thirty days prior to transferring him from Guantanamo—because he fears the results if he were to be repatriated to Algeria.
