It evidently was intended for filing in federal court---in connection with the Al-Madhwani emergency motion---but ultimately wasn't filed, for timing reasons. The document was made available this week, and describes Obaydullah's participation in the hunger strike at the detention facility, and the conditions of his confinement.
