Abdul Rahman Nashi Badi Al Hataybi is a citizen of Saudi Arabia who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 268. American intelligence analysts estimate that he was born in 1980, in Dehman, Saudi Arabia.

Combatant Status Review Tribunal

Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Geneva Conventions to captives from the war on terror. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct a competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of prisoner of war status.

Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were lawful combatants -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an enemy combatant.

There is no record that Al Hataybi chose to participate in his Combatant Status Review Tribunal.

Repatration

On November 25, 2008 the Department of Defense published a list of when captives left Guantanamo.[3] According to that list Al Hataybi was repatriated to Saudi custory on December 28, 2007, with nine other men.

All ten men repatriated on December 28, 2007 were repatriated in spite of their annual reviews recommending their continued detention. Unlike the other nine men Al Hataybi's continued detention was reviewed by an annual review board in 2007. His review board convened on March 22, 2007.[4][5] Gordon England, the Designated Civilian Official, authorized Al Hataybi's continued detention on June 28, 2007.
