Initially the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush 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 of the U.S. government. 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.
Al Nusayri chose to participate in his Combatant Status Review Tribunal.[5]
The allegations Al Nusayri faced during his Tribunal were:
- a. The detainee is associated with the Taliban:
- The detainee, a Saudi Arabian citizen, traveled to Kabul, Afghanistan, in July 2001 to fight the jihad.
- The detainee admitted traveling to Afghanistan to join the Taliban.
- The detainee stayed in a Taliban bean farm in Kabul.
According to The Saudi Repatriates Report, Al Nusayri was one of sixteen men repatriated on 14 December 2006.[6]
