Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif (1981 – September 8, 2012), also known as Allal Ab Aljallil Abd al Rahman, was a Yemeni citizen imprisoned at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, from January 2002 until his death in custody there, ruled a suicide.

[2][3][4] According to Marjorie Cohn, Adnan Latif was involved in a car accident in 1994, during which he suffered significant head injuries, which left him with on-going neurological problems.

[5] Latif said he traveled from Yemen to Pakistan in August 2001 to seek medical treatment, while the U.S. government alleged he went there to receive military training from affiliates of al Qaeda.

[2] Immediately after his imprisonment, Latif and Guantanamo prisoners generally were blocked from filing habeas corpus petitions because of President George W. Bush's doctrine that "war on terror" detainees were not covered by the Geneva Conventions, and so could be held indefinitely without charge and without an open and transparent review of the justifications for their detention.

[7] In June 2004, however, the United States Supreme Court ruled, in Rasul v. Bush, that Guantanamo captives had basic habeas corpus rights, to be informed of and allowed to attempt to refute the allegations justifying their detention.

"[10] Further allegations were that his name or alias had been found "on material seized in raids on Al Qaeda safehouses and facilities,"[10] and that he served on the security detail of Osama bin Laden.

However, in June 2008, the United States Supreme Court overturned provisions of those laws and restored detainee access to habeas corpus.

[6][12] Latif attorney Remes said, "This is a mentally disturbed man who has said from the beginning that he went to Afghanistan seeking medical care because he was too poor to pay for it.

[18][19] Falkoff recalled, "he was the guy that we tried unsuccessfully to get medical records for, and a blanket, and mattress, after we found him lying on the floor of our interview cell, weak and emaciated.

On April 25, 2011, whistleblower organization WikiLeaks published formerly secret assessments drafted by Joint Task Force Guantanamo analysts.

[23][24] Latif's nine page long assessment was drafted on January 17, 2008, and signed by camp commandant Mark Buzby, and it recommended that he be transferred out of Department of Defense control.

[25][26] Historian Andy Worthington, the author of The Guantanamo Files, writes that the 2008 assessment repeated earlier recommendations that Latif be released.

[28][4][needs update] Before the publication of Latif's identity, Wells Dixon, a lawyer who helped several Guantanamo detainees with their habeas corpus petitions, described the captives' feelings of despair, which he attributed to recent judicial reverses.
