Habeas corpus petition[edit]

Bin Hamlily had a habeas corpus petition filed on his behalf in 2005.[10] The Department of Defense published documents from the CSR Tribunals of 179 captives; they did not publish any of his habeas documents.[11]

Military Commissions Act[edit]

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.

Boumediene v. Bush[edit]

On 12 June 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. All previous Guantanamo captives' habeas petitions were eligible to be re-instated.

Bin Hamlily's attorney's filed requests to re-initiate his habeas petition.[10] According to a status report filed on 18 July 2008, bin Hamlily was captured in June 2003; Bin Hamliy was held for ten months in US custody in Kabul; Bin Hamliy was held for three to four months in the Bagram Theater Internment Facility; Bin Hamlily was transferred to Guantanamo in 2004;

Fellow Guantanamo captive Shaker Aamer initiated the petition on 15 April 2005.[10] On 19 June 2007, his attorneys filed a Petition for Immediate Release (DTA) under the Detainee Treatment Act – Hamlily v. Gates – 07-1225. On 1 July 2008, his attorneys filed an "Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus".

The Government has not filed a "factual return" in his habeas petition.[10] However, they have filed some response to his DTA petition.transferred to Guantanamo in 2004.

Return to Algeria[edit]

Adil Hadi al Jazairi Bin Hamlili and Hasan Zemiri were repatriated to Algeria on 20 January 2010.[12] Carol Rosenberg, writing in the Miami Herald, reported that it was not clear whether the two men had been sent home as free men, or whether they were transferred to Algerian custody. She noted that two other Algerians had been granted asylum, in France, as they had reason to fear a return home.[12]

His lawyer Clive Stafford Smith reported that in 2009, Hamlili was cleared by the Obama administration's review procedure, reflecting a finding that he was "no threat to the US or its coalition partners." With this finding, Hamlili was returned to Algeria on 20 January 2010, as a free man. Clive Stafford Smith said that Hamlili has suffered from a psychotic disorder, and other mental disabilities provoked by alleged abuse in US custody.[13]

In Algeria, Hamlili was tried on terrorism charges but acquitted on 21 February 2010.[14]
