Habeas Corpus
In 2005 attorneys initiated a habeas corpus petition on Ali Abdullah Ahmed's behalf. Following the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Boumediene v. Bush, restoring habeas corpus to the detainees, his attorneys re-initiated his attorneys to re-initiate his habeas petition. They argued that the Department of Defense had withheld important information to substantiate their claim that he committed suicide.
A habeas corpus petition filed on behalf of Mohammed Ahmed Taher, on July 18, 2008, reports that he is the younger brother of another Yemeni captives it identified as Salah al-Salami. The petition identifies Salah al-Salami as the Yemeni who died in custody on June 10, 2006. Mohammed Ahmed Taher's petition reports his mental stability has been seriously affected by his brother's death.
