khalil janahi

khalil janahi is a citizen of bahrain and dubai who was arrested and held in saudi arabia in april 2007 .
according to abdullah hashim lawyer for the bahrain 's national justice movement , speaking in july 2008 , janahi 's extrajudicial detention , and that of fellow bahraini abdurahim al murbati , was of '' `` urgent importance , given their length of time in custody without charge . '' ''
although charges were never laid against janahi he is reported to have been apprehended on suspicion of an association with al-qaeda .
he spent his first four months under arbitrary detention at ` ulaysha prison without access to his family .
in september , he was moved from the al-ha ` ir prison to a more lenient facility .
on 27 november 2008 the `` gulf daily news '' reported that janahi had been transferred to a prison in dubai on 24 november 2008 .
janahi was freed on 11 june 2009 , without having had access to lawyers , without any charges laid and without a trial , in either saudi arabia or dubai .
on august 2 , 2010 , `` newsblaze '' reported on an incident where bahraini police had been recorded beating a saudi citizen .
`` newsblaze '' speculated that saudi officials had not complained about the incident because saudi arabia did not want to explain its detention of janahi , abdurrahim al murbati , and abdullah al nuaimi .
