Joshua Colangelo-Bryan is a trial attorney and an associate with Dorsey & Whitney LLP in New York.
He received his B.A. from Oberlin College in 1992 and his J.D. from the University of Washington School of Law, Seattle, Washington in 1999.
In 2005, Colangelo-Bryan represented some of the Bahrainis held at the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp. When Colangelo-Bryan visited his clients that July, he learned that some of them had participated in the summer's first major hunger strike, and that one of them, Essa Al Murbati, was so frail he could not sit up.
Colangelo-Bryan's commented on the Guantanamo captives' suicidal impulses following the first three deaths described as suicide.[1]
"These men have been told they will be held at Guantánamo forever. They've been told that while they're held there they do not have a single right."
His client Juma Mohammed Abdul Latif Al Dossary had made over a dozen suicide attempts, including one attempt when he asked Colangelo-Bryan to leave the room while he made a toilet break.[2][3][4][5]
In 2007 the Washington Post quoted Colangelo-Bryan in an article on Guantanamo captives being released even though their Administrative Review Boards recommended continued detention.[6]
"If a government is on good terms with the United States and presses for a detainee's release, the release will happen regardless of the ARB findings. I believe that is what happened with Isa and Jumah."
