Rami Bin Said Al Taibi (رامي بن سعيد الطيبي) or Rami al-Juaid is a Wikipedia:Saudi Arabian who was held in the Wikipedia:United States Wikipedia:Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Wikipedia:Cuba.

Al Taibi's Guantanamo Wikipedia:Internment Serial Number was 318. The Department of Defense reports that Al Taibi was born on December 24, 1980, in Wikipedia:Ta'if, Saudi Arabia.

Background

Al Taibi claimed he traveled to Afghanistan for religious training. Rami Bin Said al Taibi was transferred to Saudi Arabia on Sept. 5, 2007.

Combatant Status Review

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for his tribunal.

a. The detainee is associated with al Qaida:

1. The detainee traveled to Afghanistan from Saudi Arabia in approximately August 2001.
2. The detainee received training at a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan.
3. The detainee's name was included in a computer file recovered from an al Qaida safehouse in Islamabad that listed prisoners currently incarcerated in Pakistan.
4. The detainee's name was found in a document recovered from an al Qaida safehouse in Karachi.
5. The detainee's name was listed as al Qaida Mujahidin who had not yet completed training in a document recovered from an al Qaida safehouse in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
6. One of the detainee's known aliases was on a list of captured al Qaida members that was discovered on a computer hard drive associated with a senior al Qaida member.

Combatant Status Review Tribunal

Wikipedia:Combatant Status Review Tribunals were held in a trailer the size of a large Wikipedia:RV. The captive sat on a plastic garden chair, with his hands and feet shackled to a bolt in the floor. Three chairs were reserved for members of the press, but only 37 of the 574 Tribunals were observed.

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.

Testimony

− Al Taibi chose to participate in his Wikipedia:Combatant Status Review Tribunal.

• Al Taibi denied any relationship with al Qaeda
• He acknowledged traveling to Afghanistan for training - religious training
• He was sure that the name of the person who participate in Mujahidin training was not his
• He has no aliases, so no aliases of his could be found in safehouses, or on captured hard drives, because he didn’t have any aliases
• He said that as the only son in his family he was exempt from being conscripted into a jihad, and he had an official document, a Wikipedia:hathwa, confirming this

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.

Allegations

A memorandum summarizing the evidence against Al Taibi prepared for his Combatan Status Reiew Tribunal, was among those released in March 2005.

The allegations Al Taibi faced were:
