Ex-Guantanamo detainees win Kuwait ruling |
2006-07-23 |
![]() All five - Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi, Abdul-Aziz al-Shimmiri, Adel Zamel Abdul-Mohsen, Saad Madhi al-Azmi and Mohammed Fnaitil al-Dehani - had pleaded innocent when their trial opened in March. It takes a week to 10 days for the details of rulings to be made public. Lawyers defending the five argued that there was no evidence to convict their clients and that Kuwaiti courts did not have the jurisdiction to try them because they had not done anything illegal in Kuwait. A Kuwaiti ex-Guantanamo prisoner who returned in January 2005 was initially acquitted of terror-related charges, but an appeals tribunal overturned the acquittal and sentenced him to five years in prison. |

#1 Back in play, heh ? That's why the rules of the game need change. No more prisoners. Just corpses. I believe we are seeing this in action in Afghanland now. |
