Lawyers for the Obama administration declared in a court document filed
Tuesday that people detained by the U.S. at the Guantánamo Bay prison
are not “persons” protected by the U.S. Religious Freedom Restoration
Act (RFRA).
The argument came in response to a lawsuit filed on behalf of two men held at Guantánamo—Emad Hassan from Pakistan and Ahmed Rabbani from Yemen—charging that if the U.S. Supreme Court granted the
corporation Hobby Lobby the status of a protected “person” under the
RFRA, people incarcerated at the offshore prison should also be afforded
religious protections.
