Salman Ebrahim is a citizen of Bahrain who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba. [1] The Department of Defense reports that Al Khalifa was born on July 24, 1979, in Rifah, Bahrain. He is a member of the Al Khalifa royal family of Bahrain, related to the king of Bahrain.
Al Khalifa is a second cousin of the King of Bahrain. [2]
Al Khalifa, like the other Bahrainis held in Guantanamo, has Joshua Colangelo-Bryan as his lawyer.
Initially the Bush Presidency asserted that the Geneva Conventions did not apply to any captives apprehended in the " war on terror", and that these individuals could be held indefinitely without any open review of their status. However, in 2004, in Rasul v. Bush the United States Supreme Court ruled the captives had to be given an opportunity to hear the justifications for their detention, and an opportunity to try to refute those allegations.
Following the Supreme Court's ruling in Rasul v. Bush, the Department of Defense set up the Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants, which conducted annual reviews, which were, in theory, open to members of the press. Al Khalifa's status was reviewed in 2004 and 2005. [3]
On April 25, 2011, whistleblower organization WikiLeaks published formerly secret assessments drafted by Joint Task Force Guantanamo analysts. [4] [5] [6] His assessment was five pages long, and was drafted on May 13, 2005. Camp commandant Jay W. Hood recommended his "transfer to the control of another country for continued detention."[ citation needed]
The Gulf Daily News announced on November 5, 2005, that Salman had been released, and was one of three Bahraini detainees on their way home. [7] [8]
On Thursday August 23, 2007, the Gulf Daily News reported that Bahraini Member of Parliament Mohammed Khalid had called for the Bahrain government to provide financial compensation to the released men. [9]
For example, Sheikh Salman Al Khalifa, a member of the Bahraini royal family, was detained specifically to provide information on a select few "personalities" and alleged "Taliban safehouses," but was then deemed himself a potential "threat to the US, its interests and allies."
The Daily Telegraph, along with other newspapers including The Washington Post, today exposes America's own analysis of almost ten years of controversial interrogations on the world's most dangerous terrorists. This newspaper has been shown thousands of pages of top-secret files obtained by the WikiLeaks website.
