Adel Hassan Hamad is a Sudanese national who was detained at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp by the United States government. His detention has been a subject of controversy and has drawn attention to the broader issues surrounding the War on Terror and the treatment of detainees.
Background[edit | edit source]
Adel Hassan Hamad was born in Sudan. He worked as a hospital administrator in Pakistan before his detention. Hamad was captured in Pakistan in 2002 and subsequently transferred to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
Detention[edit | edit source]
Hamad was detained at Guantanamo Bay for several years without formal charges. His detention was part of the broader War on Terror initiated by the United States following the September 11 attacks. During his time at Guantanamo, Hamad's case became emblematic of the legal and ethical issues surrounding indefinite detention and the treatment of detainees.
Legal Proceedings[edit | edit source]
Hamad's legal status was challenged through various legal avenues, including habeas corpus petitions. His case highlighted the complexities and controversies of the Military Commissions Act and the Detainee Treatment Act. In 2007, Hamad was released from Guantanamo and repatriated to Sudan.
Post-Release[edit | edit source]
After his release, Hamad returned to Sudan. His case has continued to be cited in discussions about human rights, international law, and the War on Terror.
