Ali Husein Muhammad Shaaban is a citizen of Syria, held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, in Cuba.<ref name=DoDList2>list of prisoners (.pdf), US Department of Defense, May 15 2006</ref> Shaaban's Guantanamo detainee ID number is 327. The Department of Defense reports that Shaaban was born on March 6 1982, in Utaiba, Syria.

Identity

Captive 327 was named inconsistently on the two official lists of captives' names and ID numbers the Department of Defense released:

• Captive 327 was listed as Husein Muhammad Shaaban on the list released on April 20, 2006.<ref name=DoDList> list of prisoners (.pdf), US Department of Defense, April 20 2006</ref>
• Captive 327 was listed as Ali Husein Shaaban on the list released on May 15, 2006.<ref name=DoDList2> list of prisoners (.pdf), US Department of Defense, May 15 2006</ref>

Combatant Status Review Tribunal

 “{{{quote}}}” }}</ref>

Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Geneva Conventions to captives from the war on terror. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of prisoner of war status.

Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were lawful combatants -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an enemy combatant.

Transcripts

Shaaban chose to participate in his Combatant Status Review Tribunal.<ref name=CsrtShaaban> Summarized transcripts (.pdf), from Ali Husein Muhammad Shaaban's Combatant Status Review Tribunal - pages 77-86</ref>

1. The Detainee left Syria on 3 July 2000, traveled through Turkey and Iran, and arrived in Afghanistan.
2. The Detainee resided for approximately one year, with five to six other Syrians, in a house rented by a Syrian in Kabul, Afghanistan.
3. Four of the Syrians from the house (including the Detainee) have been captured and are being held by the United States and coalition partners.
4. The Detainee fled to Afghanistan to join a Syrian camp under the supervision of a leader allied with Usama Bin Laden.
5. The Detainee reportedly attempted to convince his brother to receive flight training in the United States.
6. The Detainee received basic training on the Kalashnikov rifle.

b. The detainee participated in military operations against the Untied Template:Sic states and int coalition partners:

1. The Detainee left Kabul, after its fall to the Northern Alliance, and stayed in a trench that was supplied with food, water and weapons.

3. When the bombing campaign started, the Detainee drove with three others to unidentified mountains in the direction of Jalalabad, Afghanistan.

Administrative Review Board hearing

Hearing room where Guantanamo captive's annual Administrative Review Board hearings convened for captives whose Combatant Status Review Tribunal had already determined they were an "enemy combatant".<ref name=TheWire20060310> Template:Cite news</ref>

Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual Administrative Review Board hearings.<ref name=JtfGtmoPao20071029> Template:Cite news</ref> The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".

They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat -- or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.
