Abdullah al-Nuaimy was a former Guantanamo detainee, where he was detained for more than four years before being released on 5 November 2005. He was disappeared by Saudi security services while crossing the Saudi-Bahraini border at King Fahd Bridge on 29 October 2008. He was arrested without a warrant or reasons being given for his arrest. Alkarama had previously communicated his case on 30 January 2009 as an urgent appeal to the Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances (WGEID).
