Essa Al Murbati or Isa Ali Abdulla Almurbati is a citizen of Wikipedia:Bahrain currently held in Wikipedia:extrajudicial detention in the Wikipedia:United States Wikipedia:Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Wikipedia:Cuba. Al Murbati's Guantanamo Wikipedia:Internee Security Number number is 052. American Wikipedia:counter-terrorism analysts estimate he was born in 1965, in Wikipedia:Manama, Bahrain.

Al Murbati participated in the Guantanamo hunger strike (WP) that ended on July 28, 2005. His supporters suspect he would be one of the hunger strikers (WP) in the second hunger strike, that started on August 8, 2005.

Al Murbati, like the other Bahrainis held in Guantanamo has Joshua Colangelo-Bryan as his lawyer. On a visit in late July, 2005, Colangelo-Bryan found Al Murbati so frail he could not sit up.

Template:Infobox WoT detainees

To break Wikipedia:hunger strikes, captives who do not comply with their force-feeding have their arms, legs and head restrained in a feeding chair. They remain strapped in the chair until the nutrient is digested, to prevent induced vomiting

Identity

Al Murbati's name was not spelled consistently on official US documents:

• His name was spelled Issa Ali Abdullah Al Murbati on the documents in the unclassified dossier from his Wikipedia:Combatant Status Review Tribunal.
• His name was spelled Isa ali Abdullah Almurbati in his Wikipedia:habeas corpus documents.

While held at Wikipedia:Kandahar Airfield, al-Muarbati and Wikipedia:Moazzam Begg began playing Wikipedia:chess on a board the Wikipedia:International Red Cross had brought for the detainees.

Al Murbati participated in the hunger strikes of 2005.

Al Murbati has been represented by Wikipedia:Joshua Colangelo-Bryan and Wikipedia:Clive Stafford Smith. A campaign to free him is being led by Bahraini MP Wikipedia:Mohammed Khalid.

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.
