Dawut Abdurehim - Combatant Status Review

Combatant Status Review

Abdurehim was among the 60% of prisoners who chose to participate in tribunal hearings. A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for the tribunal of each detainee.

Abdurehim's memo accused him of the following:

• The detainee is citizen of China who traveled to Afghanistan, via Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan, to receive military training at a military training camp in the Tora Bora mountains.

• The training camp was provided to the Uighers by the Taliban.
• The East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) operated facilities in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan in which Uighur expatriates underwent small arms training. These camps were funded by bin Laden and the Taliban
• ETIM is listed on the state departments terrorist exclusion list.
• While at the camp, the detainee received training on the Kalashnikov rifle, handguns, and other weapons.
• Following the destruction of the training camp by the United States bombing campaign, the detainee traveled to a village in Pakistan where he was captured.
