Ahmed Muhammed Haza Al Darbi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ahmed Muhammed Haza Al Darbi is a citizen of Saudi Arabia held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1] His Guantanamo detainee ID is 783. According to the official list of detainees, released on May 15, 2006 Al Darbi was born on January 9, 1975, in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
Al Darbi did not choose to attend either his Combatant Status Review Tribunal or his Administrative Review Board hearing, so the allegations against Al Darbi that have lead to his detention remain unknown.
Al Darbi was held in the bagram collection point during the period of time members of Alpha Company of the 519th Military Intelligence Battalion routinely brutally beat their captives, resulting in the murders of two prisoners on December 4, 2001 and December 10, 2001. Al Darbi identified Damien M. Corsetti, a soldier nicknamed "the King of Torture" by his fellow GIs, as one of his abusers.[2]
Corsetti's lawyer asserts that Al Darbi's claims of abuse are not credible. He repeats the meme al Qaeda training manuals instruct captives to lie about abuse, and asserts that Al Darbi is following those instructions.
Department of Defense spokesmen have announced that Al Darbi will not be allowed to testify at Corsetti's court martial.[3]
