Gitmo Detainees Cite Hobby Lobby in New Court Filing.
In a new court filing, attorneys for two Guantanamo Bay detainees have invoked the Supreme Court's controversial decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, which allowed certain corporations to ignore the Obamacare contraception mandate if their owners object to it on religious grounds. The motions, filed with a Washington, DC, district court on behalf of Ahmed Rabbani of Pakistan and Emad Hassan of Yemen, ask the court to bar military officials from preventing Gitmo inmates from participating in communal prayer during Ramadan.
"Hobby Lobby makes clear that all persons—human and corporate, citizen and foreigner, resident and alien—enjoy the special religious free exercise protections of the [Religious Freedom Restoration Act]," the lawyers argue.
A spokesman for the Department of Defense told Al Jazeera America on Friday that the "Defense Department is aware of the filing," and that the "government will respond through the legal system."

I can see the merits of their case.
I assume a Supreme Court ruling has some jurisdiction over the military as well.

I'm not actually quite sure if the SC does have jurisdiction...

Not jurisdiction... what's the word... precedent?
I meant to say I assume their ruling has some effect on the military.

What possible reason could there be for denying people prayer meetings during Ramadan?
It's been how many years these guys have been locked up for no charge and now they cannot celebrate one of the most important celebrations of their religious calender?

Not really sure what the problem is that they can't organise them some communal prayer sessions. I guess they really want them to be terrorists when the leave, even if they weren't before...
