A federal appeals court has reversed a federal district court’s grant of a habeas petition to a Guantanamo detainee in a ruling that relaxed the evidence standards for the government to hold men at the U.S. Navy base.

The detainee, Mohammed Al-Adahi, is represented by a team of lawyers at Sutherland and King & Spalding.
