[1][2][3] Ruzatullah is notable for being one of the first captives held by the US in extrajudicial detention in Afghanistan to have a writ of habeas corpus filed on his behalf.
[1] Ruzatullah, and Hajji Rohullah, two men held in extrajudicial detention in Bagram had a writ of habeas corpus.
Mark Berman, one of the attorneys for Ali Saleh Kahlah Al-Marri, the only "enemy combatant" detained in the continental USA, wrote that the Military Commissions Act opened access to the DC Court of appeals to American captives held outside of Guantanamo.
Eric Lewis's response to that argument is that Ruzatullah, and close to one hundred other captives in US custody were transferred to a new US-built wing of the prison, guarded by Afghans who were hired by, and trained by US personnel, and that the control room is staffed by US personnel, these captives are in Afghan custody in name only.
Lewis wrote that Ruzatullah's family had been allowed to visit him in Pul-e-Charkhi, and that they found him erratic and argumentative.
