Press reports

In January 2005, his family received a letter from Shehri. He apologized for his errors in traveling to Afghanistan and asked them to find him a wife. Shehri's attorney, Kateb al Shammary, argues that the fact that his client is seeking a fiance demonstrates his innocence.

Transfer to Saudi Arabia

After more than five years in Guantanamo without ever been charged Shehri was repatriated to Saudi Arabia on June 25, 2006.
