Murat Kurnaz, a Turkish national born in Germany and featured in AIUSA’s Holiday Card action, was released on August 24, 2006 from Guantánamo. He had been held for four years and eight months without charge or trial.
In January 2005, a U.S. federal judge cited his case as illustrative of the inherent unfairness and fundamental flaws of the administrative review process in Guantánamo.
