Adel al Zamel (عادل عبدالمحسن الزميل) is a citizen of Kuwait who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.〔 〕 Joint Task Force Guantanamo counter-terrorism analysts report that Al Zamel was born on August 23, 1963, in Kuwait City, Kuwait. Al Zamel was captured in Pakistan in February 2002 and he was transferred to Kuwait on November 2, 2005. ==Repatriation and Acquittal== Al Zamil was one of five Kuwaitis repatriated to Kuwaiti custody on November 4, 2005.〔(Kuwaitis released from Guantanamo ), ''BBC'', November 4, 2005〕 The five stood trial in a Kuwaiti court, and were acquitted.〔(Kuwaiti court acquits ex-Guantanamo prisoners ). ''Independent Online (South Africa)'', May 22, 2006〕 The Washington Post reported that the two main charges were that the detainees had helped fund Al Wafa, an Afghan charity with ties to Al Qaeda, and that they had fought alongside the Taliban.〔(5 Ex-Guantanamo Detainees Freed in Kuwait ), ''Washington Post'', May 21, 2006〕 Further, the prosecution argued that the detainees actions had endangered Kuwait's political standing and its relations with friendly nations. The detainees' defense had argued that testimony secured in Guantanamo could not be used in Kuwaiti courts, because the detainees and interrogators hadn't signed them.〔 Further, they had argued, the allegations the USA had directed at them weren't violations of Kuwaiti law. Al Zamil's trial began in March 2006, and he was acquitted on July 22, 2006.〔(Kuwait's Gitmo men acquitted - again ), ''Kuwait Times'', July 23, 2006〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adel al Zamel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
