Adham Ali Awad is a citizen of Yemen currently held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba after being classified as an enemy combatant by the United States.[1] Joint Task Force Guantanamo analysts estimate he was born in 1982, in Aden, Yemen.
As of August 17, 2011, Awad has been held at Guantánamo for nine years seven months.[2]
Press accounts
The San Francisco Chronicle published a profile of Mike Trinh, Awad's lawyer.[3] According to Trinh:
- Awad's real name is "Adham Mohammed Ali Awad".
- The injury that cost Awad his leg occurred when a bazaar where he was shopping was bombarded.
- Trinh said Awad was of slight build and only five feet tall.
- Trinh said Awad had been issued a prosthetic leg, but it was too large so he has to use a walker.
- Trinh said Awad acknowledged traveling to Afghanistan to attend a madrassa, but Trinh attributed this to an attempt to leave his family behind.
- Trinh believes "Awad wasn't in battle or caught carrying a weapon."
Habeas corpus petition
Template:Confusing His original habeas corpus petition was Civil Action No. 05-02379, filed before US District Court Judge Colleen Kollar Kotely.
Carol Rosenberg, writing in the Miami Herald reported that US District Court Judge James Robertson ruled that "Adham Mohammed Ali Awad" was held legally.[4][5] His was the first habeas petition where the judge ruled in favor of the executive branch, since Barack Obama became President of the United States. Judges ruled in favor the executive branch in five cases during the last months of the Bush administration.
Del Quentin Wilber, writing in the Washington Post, reported that "He and other fighters barricaded themselves in a hospital. The others fought to the death, but Awad was left behind because he was too badly injured, the government alleged.[6]
On June 2, 2010, a three judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals supported Robertson's ruling.[7] Their ruling was sealed on national security grounds.
