Yaser Esam Hamdi (born September 26, 1980) is a former American citizen who was captured in Afghanistan in 2001. The United States government claims that he was fighting with the Taliban against U.S. and Afghan Northern Alliance forces. He was declared an "illegal enemy combatant" by the Bush administration and detained for almost three years without charge. Born in Louisiana, he was a U.S. citizen. On October 9, 2004, on the condition that he renounce his U.S. citizenship and commit to travel prohibitions and other conditions, the government released him and deported him to Saudi Arabia, where he had been raised. Hamdi was initially detained at Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, along with eventually hundreds of other detainees. After officials learned that he was a U.S. citizen, Hamdi was transferred to military jails in Virginia and South Carolina. He continued to be detained without trial or legal representation. Critics of his imprisonment claimed his civil rights were violated and that he was denied due process of law under the U.S. Constitution. They said his imprisonment without formal charges and denial of legal representation was illegal. On June 28, 2004, in ''Hamdi v. Rumsfeld'', the United States Supreme Court rejected the U.S. government's attempts to detain him indefinitely without trial. It said he had the right as a U.S. citizen to due process under ''habeas corpus'': to confront his accusers and contest the grounds of detention in an impartial forum. ==Early years== According to his birth certificate, Hamdi was born to immigrant parents from Saudi Arabia in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on September 26, 1980.〔 〕 As a child, he moved with his parents from the United States back to Saudi Arabia, where he grew up.〔 (mirror ) 〕 The ''Charleston Post and Courier'' reported that Hamdi ran away from home during the summer of 2001, when he was 20 years old, and trained at a Taliban camp. His family said that he spent only a few weeks at the camp, "where he quickly became disillusioned".〔 He was caught up in the fighting and chaos after the United States invaded Afghanistan.〔 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「Yaser Esam Hamdi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
