WAGD arbitrary but probably not political[edit]

  • Ahmed Ali (imprisoned 2001–2005): Born in Somalia, Ali was granted refugee status as a child until convicted of battery, which placed him at risk of deportation.[16] The WGAD found that his detention was arbitrary on Category III (unfair trial).[17]

  • César Manuel Guzmán Cruz (imprisoned 1978–1998): Guzmán Cruz is a refugee from Cuba. They remained detained after his sentence ended because they could not be deported to Cuba. The WAGD found that Guzmán Cruz's detention beyond the sentence was arbitrary on Category III (unfair trial).[21]

Since Mr. Bridgewater was arrested on charges of serious drug offences and is being kept in detention for the same offences, in respect of which he has already been indicted and is awaiting trial, the Working Group, bearing also in mind the difference between the circumstances of the present case from the facts on the basis of which it adopted its Opinion 48/1993, concludes that the deprivation of the liberty of Mr. Waynebourne Clive Anthony Bridgewater is not arbitrary.

The Group is aware that he was last denied temporary parole on 16 July 1998.
