Abdessalam v. Bush (Civil Action No. 06-1761) is a habeas corpus petition filed on behalf of Guantanamo captive, Achraf Salim Abdessalam.12

Military Commissions Act

The Military Commissions Act of 2006 mandated that Guantanamo captives were no longer entitled to access the US civil justice system, so all outstanding habeas corpus petitions were stayed.3

Boumediene v. Bush

On June 12, 2008 the United States Supreme Court ruled, in Boumediene v. Bush, that the Military Commissions Act could not remove the right for Guantanamo captives to access the US Federal Court system. And all previous Guantanamo captives' habeas petitions were eligible to be re-instated.

On July 7, 2008 the officials with the United States Department of Justice submitted a petition concerning two captives, including Achraf Salim Abdessalam, asserting that they did not need the protections of habeas corpus.1
