Nasser Najiri Amtiri was among the eleven captives covered in the July 2008 "Petitioners' Status Report" filed by David J. Cynamon in Al Odah, v. United States on behalf of the four remaining Kuwaiti prisoners in Guantanamo. Seven other prisoners were amalgamated to the case, which charged that none of the men had been cleared for release, even though the government had completed factual returns for them -- and those factual returns had contained redacted sections.[8]
The decision, striking down the Military Commissions Act, was handed down on June 12, 2008.[9][10]
On March 16, 2007 the Department of Defense published records of the captives' height and weights.[11]

He had been charged soon after his repatriation to Kuwait, in January 2005; acquitted in June 2005; had his acquittal overturned on appeal; was sentenced to five years imprisonment; only to have his conviction overturned in December, by Kuwait's highest court of appeal.[13]
