Ahmed Abdel Aziz on the official list of all Guantanamo captives, released on May 15, 2006. Ahmed Ould Abdel Aziz on the official list of captives whose earlier determination as an "Wikipedia:enemy combatants" was reconsidered by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal, and on various official memos and lists released in September 2007. Akhmed Aziz on the Summary of Evidence memo prepared for his second annual Wikipedia:Administrative Review Board on September 20, 2006.

Combatant Status Review Tribunal

Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Wikipedia:Geneva Conventions to captives from Wikipedia:the war on terror. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct Wikipedia:competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of Wikipedia:prisoner of war status.

Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:enemy combatant.

Summary of Evidence memo

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Ahmed Ould Abdel Aziz's Combatant Status Review Tribunal, on 1 November 2004. There were 23 allegations listed on Ahmed Ould Abdel Aziz's Summary of Evidence memo, including:

Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual Wikipedia:Administrative Review Board hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".

They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat—or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free. XXX chose to participate in his Administrative Review Board hearing.

First annual Administrative Review Board

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for captive 757's first annual Administrative Review Board, on November 8, 2005.

Second annual Administrative Review Board

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for captive 757's second annual Administrative Review Board, on September 20, 2006. Captive 757's was named Akhmed Aziz on this memo—a name inconsistent with all the other documents released by the DoD.

Interviewed by President Obama's review team

Wikipedia:United States President Wikipedia:Barack Obama dispatched a team to report back to him about Guantanamo. His team conducted close to one hundred interviews. Eleven interviews were conducted with captives. Their Wikipedia:Internee Security Number were redacted from the field devoted to that purpose. But the comment field for two of the interviews contained Ahmed Ould's ID number. The notes said he was interviewed in "Papa tier" of Camp 3 by a legal member of the team. He said:

2009-02-05	757 made unsolicited claim he was tortured (showing a "bandage" on his thigh); followed up with DIMS reports, FCE record and medical reDorts
2009-02-09	Explained findings "unsubstantiated" during walk-through, when 757 made additional, unrelated claims.
