Mohammed el Gharani is a citizen of Chad and native of Saudi Arabia born in 1986, in Medina. He was one of the juveniles held at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp with an estimated age of 15–16 years when he arrived at the camps.〔 〕 Human Rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith identified Al Qarani as one of a dozen teenage boys held in the adult portion of the prison. The Independent said Gharani was accused of plotting with Abu Qatada, in London, in 1999 – when he was a 12-year-old, living with his parents, in Saudi Arabia.〔(The children of Guantanamo Bay ), ''The Independent'', May 28, 2006〕 He was detained for seven years in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps. On January 14, 2009, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon ordered the release of Gharani because the evidence that he was an enemy combatant was mostly limited to statements from two other detainees whose credibility had been called into question by US government staff. Gharani's attorney Zachary Katznelson said after the ruling "Judge Leon did justice today. This is an innocent kid when he was seized illegally in Pakistan and should never have been in prison in the first place." 〔http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,619195,00.html〕 ==History== After his parents immigrated from Chad, Mohammed grew up in Saudi Arabia. Here he was subjected to discrimination as a Chadian, and was denied schooling. Consequently, he went to Pakistan in order to study English and computer studies.It was in Pakistan that he was arrested by Pakistani police, and given over to US forces 〔http://www.reprieve.org/mohammed-el-gharani.html〕 Following this, Mohammed was taken to the US run Bagram Air Force Base, in Afghanistan. Here it is claimed that he was kept naked for days, and subjected to racial abuse.〔 After being held in Bagram for two months, Mohammed was transferred to Guantanamo Bay where he remained for seven and a half years. Eventually, in 2009 with the help of Reprieve lawyers, Mohammed won a court order for his release. He was subsequently returned to Chad.〔 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「Mohammed el Gharani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
