[24] A 2011 NPR report claimed Abdulqader is imprisoned in a highly restrictive Communication Management Unit in Terre Haute, Indiana.
[26] In 2022 His daughter, Nida Abu Baker along with the Thursday by Within Our Lifetime, the Coalition for Civil Freedoms and the Samidoun Prisoner Network called for his release along with other Palestinians imprisoned by the US government.
