[edit] Transcript
The Department of Defense published a seven page summarized transcript from the unclassified session of his Tribunal.[4]
[edit] Habeas corpus petition
A writ of habeas corpus was filed on Samir Naji Al Hasan Moqbel's behalf.
[edit] Military Commissions Act
The Military Commissions Act of 2006 mandated that Guantanamo captives were no longer entitled to access the US civil justice system, so all outstanding habeas corpus petitions were stayed.[5]
[edit] Boumediene v. Bush
On June 12, 2008 the United States Supreme Court ruled, in Boumediene v. Bush, that the Military Commissions Act could not remove the right for Guantanamo captives to access the US Federal Court system. And all previous Guantanamo captives' habeas petitions were eligible to be re-instated. The judges considering the captives' habeas petitions would be considering whether the evidence used to compile the allegations the men and boys were enemy combatants justified a classification of "enemy combatant".[6]
[edit] Protective order
On 15 July 2008 Kristine A. Huskey filed a "NOTICE OF PETITIONERS’ REQUEST FOR 30-DAYS NOTICE OF TRANSFER" on behalf of several dozen captives including Samir Naji Al Hasan Moqbel.[7]
[edit] Administrative Review Board
Detainees whose Combatant Status Review Tribunal labeled them "enemy combatants" were scheduled for annual Administrative Review Board hearings. These hearings were designed to assess the threat a detainee may pose if released or transferred, and whether there are other factors that warrant his continued detention.[8]
[edit] First annual Administrative Review Board hearing
A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for his first annual Administrative Review Board in 2005.[9]
[edit] Second annual Administrative Review Board hearing
A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for his second annual Administrative Review Board in 2006.[10]
