Lead petitioner in the case.
Not "captured on the battlefield". Apprehended in
Gambia , while on a business trip with his friend Bisher Al-Rawi.
Was first held and interrogated in a CIA

Bisher Al-Rawi
Not "captured on the battlefield". Apprehended in
Gambia , while on a business trip with his friend Jamil el-Banna.
Was first held and interrogated in a CIA
safe house in Gambia — not in the detention of the Gambian justice system.
Original arrest was nominally due to carrying a battery charger in his luggage.
Pressure for the United Kingdom to insist on his return mounted when it became public that he was an MI-5 informant who was betrayed by his MI-5 handlers.
