Ameur Mammar v. George W. Bush

A writ of habeas corpus, Ameur Mammar v. George W. Bush, was submitted on Ameur Mammar's behalf.[3] The Department of Defense published the unclassified documents related to the Combatant Status Review Tribunal of 179 captives who had writs of habeas corpus published on their behalf. But they didn't publish the documents from Mammar Ameur's Tribunal.

On April 17, 2007 The Department of Justice filed a motion to dismiss the habeas petitions of captives who had been repatriated, or who had died in custody. Mammar Ameur's petition was not on this list.

Ameur's refugee status

According to Carol Rosenberg, writing in the Kansas City Star, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees wrote the Pentagon, on December 20, 2006, seeking information on why Ameur, and another man were being detained in Guantanamo.[4] The UNHCR had not known until December 2006 that the Americans were holding internationally recognized refugees in Guantanamo. Ameur was granted UN refugee status in Pakistan in 1996. Mohammed Sulaymon Barre was granted UN refugee status in Pakistan in 1994. A third captive, Fethi Boucetta, was one of the 38 captives who was determined not have been an "enemy combatant" after all. The Americans transferred him to Albania.
