A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for his tribunal. The memo accused him of the following:[2]

On March 3, 2006, in response to a court order from Jed Rakoff the Department of Defense published a Summarized transcript from over 300 Tribunals.[3] Saleem's transcript was not published on March 3, 2006. A three-page summarized transcript from the unclassified session of his Tribunal was published in September 2007, as part of his habeas corpus petition.[4]

A writ of habeas corpus, Allah Muhammed Saleem v. George W. Bush, was submitted on Allah Muhammed Saleem's behalf.[5] In response, on 12 November 2005,the Department of Defense released 29pages of unclassified documents related to his Combatant Status Review Tribunal to his lawyers.Those 29 pages were published in September 2007.

On January 13, 2005 Tribunal panel 30 determined he was not an "enemy combatant" after all.

Not an enemy combatant

Two of the three officers who sat on Tribunal panel 30, which convened to confirm or refute his status as an "enemy combatant" voted to recommend that he should not be considered an enemy combatant. The dissenting officer prepared a minority report, which was not published. The unclassified version of the Tribunal's report did not say why they discounted the allegations against him.

Asylum in Albania

Like five of the Uyghur detainees in Guantanamo the government of Albania agreed to allow Salim to be transferred to Albania, and to apply for Asylum.[6] Salim was transferred to a refugee center there on 17 November 2006. Salim has been visited, in Albania, by his American lawyers. Zari reports that Salim's family in Egypt are not accepting phone calls from either Salim, or his lawyers. According to Zari: "Salim pointed out that he was suffering from some health problems resulting from his torture in Guantanamo,"[6]
