Redouan Chekkouri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Redouan Chekkouri is a Moroccan, who was detained as a suspected "illegal combatant" in Camp Delta, in the United States naval base, at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Chekkouri was repatriated to Morocco in 2004, along with four other Moroccans.^[1] The four were all charged by Moroccan authorities; then released on bail. Chekkouri was subsequently reincarcerated when new charges were laid.

[edit] Allegations

American policy is to refrain from commenting on the allegations against specific detainees.

According to Middle Esst Online Morocco has charged Chekkouri with: "'support for a criminal group by transferring money to Moroccans to create a gang that threatens Morocco's interests', and assistance in forging passports."^[2] According to the Morocco Times Morocco also charged Chekkouri with: “relations with the Islamic Group of Moroccan Fighters and with al Qaeda.”^[3]
