ISN	Name	Notes
905	Jamil El-Banna	Lead petitioner in the case. Not "captured on the battlefield". Apprehended in Gambia, while on a business trip with his friend Bisher Al-Rawi. Was first held and interrogated in a CIA safe house in Gambia — not in the detention of the Gambian justice system. Returned to Britain in 2007.
906	Bisher Al-Rawi	Not "captured on the battlefield". Apprehended in Gambia, while on a business trip with his friend Jamil el-Banna. Was first held and interrogated in a CIA safe house in Gambia — not in the detention of the Gambian justice system. Original arrest was nominally due to carrying a battery charger in his luggage. Pressure for the United Kingdom to insist on his return mounted when it became public that he was an MI-5 informant who was betrayed by his MI-5 handlers.
10007	Martin Mubanga	A joint citizen of Zambia and the United Kingdom. Captured in Zambia, not "captured on the battlefield".

Eligible to seek relief
