Adil Hadi bin Hamlili

Adil Hadi al Jazairi Bin Hamlili is a citizen of Algeria who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba. The US Department of Defense reports that Bin Hamlili was born on 26 June 1976, in Oram (Oran) Algeria. His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 1452.

The interrogators in Guantanamo Bay believed Bin Hamlili was an Al Qaeda financier and assassin who also worked for the British Intelligence Service MI6 and the Canadian Intelligence Service CSIS.

Identity

Adil Hadi al Jazairi Bin Hamlili's name was spelled inconsistently on various documents released by the United States Department of Defense:

Adil Hadial Al Jazairi Bin Hamlili on the Summary of Evidence memo prepared for his Combatant Status Review Tribunal, on 16 November 2004. Adil Hadi Al-Jaza'iri Bin Hamlili on the Summary of Evidence memo prepared for his first and second annual Administrative Review Board, on 25 August 2005 and on 7 September 2006.

Combatant Status Review Tribunal A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Adil Hadial Al Jazairi Bin Hamlili's Combatant Status Review Tribunal, on 16 November 2004.

Second annual Administrative Review Board

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Adil Hadi Al-Jaza'iri Bin Hamlili's second annual Administrative Review Board, on 7 September 2006. According to those records Adil Hadi bin Hamlili was 68 inches tall. According to those records his weight was recorded 29 times between September 2004 and December 2006. According to those records his weight ranged from 151 to 203 pounds. Those records indicated he gained 29 pounds between 20 September 2005 and 22 September. Those records indicated he lost 45 pounds between 11 and 17 July 2006.

Habeas corpus petition

Bin Hamlily had a habeas corpus petition filed on his behalf in 2005. The Department of Defense published documents from the CSR Tribunals of 179 captives; they did not publish any of his habeas documents.

Military Commissions Act

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

Habeas corpus re-initiated

Bin Hamlily's attorney's filed requests to re-initiate his habeas petition. Carol Rosenberg, writing in the Miami Herald, reported that it was not clear whether the two men had been sent home as free men, or whether they were transferred to Algerian custody. She noted that two other Algerians had been granted asylum, in France, as they had reason to fear a return home.

In Algeria, Hamlili was tried on terrorism charges but acquitted on 21 February 2010.
