Moazzam Begg's Tribunal

UK citizen Moazzam Begg had requested two witnesses who he felt would substantiate that an employee of the International Committee of the Red Cross had issued him a Geneva Convention Prisoner of War card. [http://wid.ap.org/documents/detainees/moazzambegg.pdf Unclassified dossier (.pdf)] from Moazzam Begg's Combatant Status Review Tribunal, hosted by Associated Press] Begg had requested the testimony of the ICRC employeed, and of an American officer, who had knowledge of his POW status. His Tribunal's President had initially ruled that Begg's witnesses were relevant.

However Crisfield convinced her that these witnesses were not relevant, because Combatant Status Review Tribunals weren't authorized to determine whether captives were entitled to the protections of Prisoner of War status.
