Salam Abdullah Said v. George W. Bush

Saad Al Qahtani was one of five Saudi who had a petition of Wikipedia:habeas corpus filed on their behalf December 13, 2005, in Wikipedia:Salam Abdullah Said v. George W. Bush. In September 2007 the Department of Justice published dossiers of unclassified documents arising from the Combatant Status Review Tribunals of 179 captives.

Seizure of privileged lawyer-client documents

On June 10, 2006 the Department of Defense reported that three captives died in custody. The Department of Defense stated the three men committed suicide. Camp authorities called the deaths "an act of asymmetric warfare", and suspected plans had been coordinated by the captive's attorneys—so they seized all the captives' documents, including the captives' copies of their habeas documents. Since the habeas documents were privileged lawyer-client communication the Department of Justice was compelled to file documents about the document seizures.

Military Commissions Act

The Wikipedia:Military Commissions Act of 2006 mandated that Guantanamo captives were no longer entitled to access the US civil justice system, so all outstanding habeas corpus petitions were stayed.

Boumediene v. Bush

On June 12, 2008 the Wikipedia:United States Supreme Court ruled, in Wikipedia:Boumediene v. Bush, that the Military Commissions Act could not remove the right for Wikipedia:Guantanamo captives to access the US Federal Court system. And all previous Guantanamo captives' habeas petitions were eligible to be re-instated.

Request for his habeas corpus petition to be re-instated

On July 18, 2008 Wikipedia:David W. DeBruin filed a renewal for the habeas corpus of two of the five captives in Wikipedia:Said v. Bush. The petition stated that three of the captives had been repatriated. Saad Al Qahtani and Wikipedia:Mohammed Zahrani were listed as captives who were still in detention in Guantanamo, who were requesting having their habeas petition re-instated.

Saudi Arabian captives had represented the largest group of foreigners apprehended in Afghanistan and transported to Guantanamo. But, by the end of 2007 almost all the Saudis had been sent home.
