Majid Abdallah Husayn Muhammad Al Samluli Al Harbi is a citizen of Saudi Arabia who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1] His Guantanamo Internee Security Number is 158.

Identity
Captive 158 was identified as inconsistently of official Department of Defense documents:
- Captive 158 was identified as Majid Abdallah Husayn Al Harbi on the Summary of Evidence memo prepared for his Combatant Status Review Tribunal, on 28 September 2004.[2]
- Captive 158 was identified as Majid Abdallah Husayn Muhammad Al Samluli Al Harbi on the Summary of Evidence memos prepared for his first and second annual Administrative Review Boards, on 30 June 2005 and on 15 August 2006.[3][3]
He was named Majed Abdullah Hussein Al-Harbi by the Saudi Foreign Ministry, when he was one of seven men repatriated on February 22 2007.[4][5]
Combatant Status Review Tribunal
Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Geneva Conventions to captives from the war on terror. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of prisoner of war status.
Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were lawful combatants -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an enemy combatant.
Summary of Evidence memo
A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Majid Abdallah Husayn Al Harbi's Combatant Status Review Tribunal, on 28 September 2004.[2] The memo listed the following allegations against him:
- a. The detainee is a member of al Qaida and the Taliban:
- The detainee traveled to Afghanistan after 11 September 2001 to support jihad.
- The detainee received weapons training at a camp near Kandahar in October 2001.
- The detainee's name was found on a list recovered during a raid on a suspected safehouse.
- One of the detainee's known aliases was found in a hard drive of an al Qaida figure.

Administrative Review Board hearings
Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual Administrative Review Board hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".
They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat -- or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.
