Maasoum Abdah Mouhammad, a citizen of Syria, was formerly held in extrajudicial detention in the U.S. Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba. Guantanamo counter-terrorism analysts estimate he was born in 1972, in Al Qameshle, Syria. He is from the Kurdish ethnic group. Maasoum Abdah Mouhammad was held at Guantanamo for almost eight years until he was released to Bulgaria on May 4, 2010. Official status reviews Originally the Bush Presidency asserted that captives apprehended in the "war on terror" were not covered by the Geneva Conventions, and could be held indefinitely, without charge, and without an open and transparent review of the justifications for their detention. In 2004 the United States Supreme Court ruled, in Rasul v. Bush, that Guantanamo captives were entitled to being informed of the allegations justifying their detention, and were entitled to try to refute them. Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants Following the Supreme Court's ruling the Department of Defense set up the Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants. Scholars at the Brookings Institution, led by Benjamin Wittes, listed the captives still held in Guantanamo in December 2008, according to whether their detention was justified by certain common allegations: Maasoum Abdah Mouhammad was listed as one of the captives who "The military alleges ... are members of the Taliban." Maasoum Abdah Mouhammad was listed as one of the captives who "The military alleges that the following detainees stayed in Al Qaeda, Taliban or other guest- or safehouses." Maasoum Abdah Mouhammad was listed as one of the captives who "The military alleges ... took military or terrorist training in Afghanistan." Maasoum Abdah Mouhammad was listed as one of the captives who "The military alleges ... were at Tora Bora." Maasoum Abdah Mouhammad was listed as one of the captives whose "names or aliases were found on material seized in raids on Al Qaeda safehouses and facilities." Maasoum Abdah Mouhammad was listed as one of the captives who was a foreign fighter. Habeas corpus petition A writ of habeas corpus was filed on Maasoum Abdah Mouhammad's behalf. On July 15, 2008, Kristine A. Huskey filed a "notice of petitioners' request for 30 days' notice of transfer" on behalf of several dozen captives including Maasoum Abdah Mouhammad.
