Status Still held in Guantanamo

Abdul Razak is a citizen of China held for more than nine years in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.[1]

Joint Task Force Guantanamo reported that Razak was born in Atush, China but did not publish a birth date for him.

He is one of the 22 individuals from the Uighur ethnic group, held in Guantanamo.[2][3][4] Human rights critics say the Uyghurs were innocent bystanders. US District Court Judge Ricardo Urbina reviewed the evidence justifying Razak's detention for his habeas corpus petition in 2008.[5] Urbina ruled Razakah's detention was unlawful and ordered him set free in the United States on October 8, 2008. The Justice Department appealed Urbina's ruling.

Writ of habeas corpus

A writ of habeas corpus, Abdal Razak Qadir v. George W. Bush, was submitted on Abdul Razak Qadir's behalf.[6]
