Guantanamo Inmate Seeking Release Rejected by U.S. High Court

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from an accused al-Qaeda supporter who sought reinstatement of an order that he be released from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The justices today left intact a federal appeals court ruling that said the government had enough evidence of al-Qaeda ties to continue holding Mohammed al-Adahi. A federal trial judge had ordered al-Adahi set free.

Al-Adahi, a Yemeni man arrested in Pakistan in 2001, says he was there after taking his sister to Afghanistan to meet her new husband. He testified that he doesn’t believe in killing innocent people and never planned to fight Americans.

U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler ordered al-Adahi released in 2009. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia unanimously reversed that ruling last year.

In his appeal, al-Adahi said the appeals court was too quick to substitute its judgment for Kessler’s. The Obama administration urged the Supreme Court not to hear the case.
