Abdulla Majid Al Naimi

Detainees do not have the right to a lawyer before the CSRTs or to access the evidence against them. The CSRTs are not bound by the rules of evidence that would apply in court, and the government’s evidence is presumed to be “genuine and accurate.” However, unclassified summaries of relevant evidence may be provided to the detainee and each detainee has an opportunity to present “reasonably available” evidence and witnesses.

In the landmark case Boumediene v. Bush, the U.S. Supreme Court found that CSRTs are not an adequate substitute for the constitutional right to challenge one's detention in court, in part because they do not have the power to order detainees released. The Court also found that "there is considerable risk of error in the tribunal’s findings of fact."

Al Noaimi was eventually released by the Saudis without charge and returned to Bahrain on April 21, 2016.

On August 2, 2010, Newsblaze reported on an incident where Bahraini police had been recorded beating a Saudi citizen. Newsblaze speculated that Saudi officials had not complained about the incident because Saudi Arabia did not want to explain its detention of Naomi, Khalil Janahi, and Abdurrahim Al Murbati.

A 2009 article in the New York Times claimed that a Pentagon report "confirmed" that Al Noaimi had "returned to the fight" and had engaged in terrorist activity after his release from Guantanamo Bay in 2005. They later critiqued their own handling of the information.

The Gulf Daily News reported that Al Naimi had been arrested in Saudi Arabia in late October 2008. Bahraini Member of Parliament Mohammed Khalid expressed dismay at the arrest of a third Bahraini citizen by Saudi authorities, and said that the Saudis had not offered a formal justification for his arrest.

In late November 2008, another Bahraini in extrajudicial detention in Saudi Arabia, Khalil Janahi, was reported to have been repatriated. Mohammed Janahi described Khalid Janahi's repatriation as a hopeful development for Al Naimi, and two other Bahrainis in extrajudicial detention in Saudi Arabia - Abdulraheem Al Murbati, and Hassan Al Yabis. Al Naimi and the other men remained held by Saudi Arabia in April 2009.

The deaths of three detainees were announced on June 10, 2006. Al Naimi knew the three men, and commented on their deaths on June 25, 2006. Al Naimi said that Mani Al-Utaybi and Ali Abdullah Ahmed were captured while studying in Pakistan. He said that they were interrogated for only a brief time after their arrival in Guantanamo, and their interrogators had told them they were not regarded as a threat, and that they could expect to be released.

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Abdullah Al Noaimi's Administrative Review Board, on July 1, 2005. The memo listed factors for and against his continued detention.

In early September 2007, the Department of Defense released two heavily redacted memos, from his Board, to Gordon J. England, the Designated Civilian Official. The Board's recommendation was unanimous. The Board's recommendation was redacted. England authorized his transfer on October 4, 2005.

Represented by attorney Joshua Colangelo-Bryan, Al-Naimi was one of three Bahraini detainees released and sent back to Bahrain in November 2005.

The interrogations dealt with them only during the first month of their detention. For more than a year before I left Guantanamo in November 2005, they were left alone. But they were still held in bad conditions in the camp by the guards.

From July 2004 through March 2005, a CSRT was convened to make a determination whether each captive had been correctly classified as an "enemy combatant". Abdulla Majid Al Naimi was among the one-third of prisoners for whom there was no indication they chose to participate in their tribunals.

The documents the Department of Defense released include two statements, both dated November 11, 2004.

A writ of habeas corpus was submitted on Abdullah Al Noaimi's behalf. The Department of Defense released a dossier of 24 pages of documents arising from his CSR Tribunal on December 9, 2004.

Al Naimi has stated that he was abducted by Pashtun tribesmen in Afghanistan in late 2001, and then handed over to the Pakistani authorities in return for a cash reward. After being moved around for a while he eventually arrived at a prison at Kohat. After several more weeks he was transferred to American custody and flown to Guantanamo Bay.

One statement was from Mohammed Salman Al-Khalifa, a cousin of Salman Al Khalifa, a member of the Bahrain royal family. It states since Abdullah Al Noaimi was a childhood friend of Salman Al Khalifa he was asked to travel to Pakistan and Afghanistan to look for him, when he went missing, in August 2001.

Abdulla Majid Al Naimi (also transliterated as Abdullah al Noaimi) (born March 9, 1982 in Manama, Bahrain), is a Bahraini, formerly held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.
