Rahmatullah remains in custody because U.S. politicians do not want to look soft a Muslim with a beard
What is your worst nightmare? Is it worse than being trapped in a distant black hole, in a strange land, unable to communicate with his family? What is scarier than torture, day and night, when his family does not even know if he is alive or dead? Is this your greatest fear, then, worse than the reality of Yunus Rahmatullah?
The law does not deal with trifles, and if you ever find beyond the scope of basic decency, you will be glad that the arm of the law is long. On Wednesday, the rule of law has finally caught up with Rahmatullah, and shone a light in the cave which was held for nearly eight years. The appellate court granted his petition for habeas corpus, the historic resource is sometimes said to derive from the Constitution itself, when King John was warned that "No free man shall be taken or imprisoned ... but by the lawful judgment of his peers or the law of the land. "
Rahmatullah was originally placed in the black hole, in particular by the British authorities. He was arrested in Iraq in early 2004. The British handed him over to the U.S. for the illegal supply of the air force base at Bagram in Afghanistan - a country that had never visited. For five years, the British government did not exist.
- Rupert Murdoch, never abused his power as did British ministers when Rahmatullah difficult situation finally came to light, loudly proclaimed that he was a member of a Sunni Muslim terrorist Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET). Of course, ministers have done this while hiding behind the barricades of parliamentary privileges, Rahmatullah was locked in his cell, without the right to respond at all. The lie was broadcast worldwide, and is used to justify their indefinite detention without trial.
- When I finally track down the family Rahmatullah, offered to help without pay, and took his case to court, the British government withdrew a second line of defense: his arrest was not legal but he insisted, playing Pontius Pilate, who could do nothing about it. Rahmatullah was now in American hands. Your family must pay to take their case to Washington and ask the court to release him. In fact, the United Kingdom was not yet ready to ask President Obama to be treated fairly, they said, because demand would be "useless."
