David H. Remes

[4][8] Remes played a role in a challenge focused around the captives' detention based on an avenue of appeal that the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 (DTA) opened.

The DTA allowed captives to challenge the enemy combatant determination if the Tribunal failed to follow the rules laid out in their mandate.

The Supreme Court had ruled that Guantanamo captives were entitled to challenge the basis for their detention through the US Justice System, because the Combatant Status Review Tribunals were not an adequate substitute for habeas corpus.

According to the Associated Press: At a closed-door meeting with judges and defense attorneys this week, government lawyers said they needed time to add new evidence and make other changes to evidentiary documents known as "factual returns.

It's also an admission that the government thinks it needs to beef up the evidence.The following month, on July 14, Remes put advocacy on display at a news conference by removing his pants to protest the "constant body searches" of Muslim prisoner held at Guantanamo.

[5] Remes continued his pro bono legal work on behalf of captives held in extra judicial detention at Guantanamo Bay, taking on the case of Adnan Farhan Abd Al Latif one of his most notable clients.

[14] and Remes via Amnesty International promised to continue his work on behalf of Guantanamo detainees who have been ordered released, only to have their cases reversed by appeals courts.
