Since the military brought the first detainees to Guantánamo in January 2002, the Pentagon has consistently refused to comprehensively identify those it holds. While it has, at various times, released information about individuals who have been detained at Guantánamo, it has always maintained ambiguity about the population of the facility at any given moment, declining even to specify precisely the number of detainees held at the base. We have sought to identify the detainee population using a variety of records, mostly from habeas corpus litigation, and we have sorted the current population into subgroups using both the government’s allegations against detainees and detainee statements about their own affiliations and conduct.

Respondents initially maintained that they were “unable to confirm the identity of petitioner Saleh Ali Abdullah Al Salami as a detainee at Guantánamo Bay,” and required counsel to produce evidence of Al Salami’s detention. See Dec. 30, 2005 E- mail from Preeya M. Noronha, attached hereto as Exhibit B. In response, counsel produced a letter Al Salami had written to his father from Camp Delta in 2003, along with other identifying information.

GUANTANAMO BAY: NATIONAL SECURITY VERSUS CIVIL LIBERTIES Michael W. Pond1 INTRODUCTION asser Talal al Zahrani was only sixteen years old when he was first captured and later transferred to the Guantanamo YBay detention camp, where he would spend the next four years until allegedly ending his own life on June 6, 2006. He was a citizen of Saudi Arabia, held in extrajudicial detention (or detention without trial) for an alleged connection with the Taliban. Just days before his death, he had written a letter to his father, Colonel Talal al-Zahrani, detailing two other prisoners who seemed to be on the verge of death. Ten days after receiving the letter, the Department of Defense announced the apparent suicide of Yasser Talal al Zahrani and two other prisoners: Salah Ali Abdullah Ahmed Al-Salami and Ali Abdullah Ahmed Naser al-Sullami. The bodies were returned to their families with trauma to the faces, necks, and chests of the bodies.

Romero Executive Director 125 Broad Street, 18th Floor New York, NY 10004 (212) 549-2500 January 2009 HOW TO CLOSE GUANTÁNAMO: A PLAN Introduction Guantánamo is a scourge on America and the Constitution. It must be closed. This document outlines a five-step plan for closing Guantánamo and restoring the rule of law. Secrecy and fear have distorted the facts about Guantánamo detainees. Our plan is informed by recognition of the following critical facts, largely unknown to the public: • The government has quietly repatriated two-thirds of the 750 detainees, tacitly admitting that many should never have been held at all. • Most of the remaining detainees will not be charged as terrorists, and can be released as soon as their home country or a haven country agrees to accept them. • Trying the remaining detainees in federal court – and thus excluding evidence obtained through torture or coercion – does not endanger the public. The rule of law and the presumption of innocence serve to protect the public. Furthermore, the government has repeatedly stated that there is substantial evidence against the detainees presumed most dangerous – the High Value Detainees – that was not obtained by torture or coercion. They can be brought to trial in federal court. I. Step One: Stay All Proceedings of the Military Commissions and Impose a Deadline for Closure The President should immediately

  • The “Journey of Death” 1
    THE JOURNEY OF DEATH – OVER 700 PRISONERS ILLEGALLY RENDERED TO GUANTANAMO BAY WITH THE HELP OF PORTUGAL 28 January 2008 THE “JOURNEY OF DEATH” 1 - OVER 700 PRISONERS ILLEGALLY RENDERED TO GUANTANAMO WITH THE HELP OF PORTUGAL - Reprieve can now conclusively show that Portuguese territory and airspace has been used to transfer over 700 prisoners to torture and illegal imprisonment in Guantanamo Bay. Through comparing flight logs obtained from Portuguese authorities, 2 information from the US Department of Defence showing dates of arrival of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and unclassified testimony from many of the prisoners themselves, 3 Reprieve is for the first time able to name 728 prisoners rendered to Guantanamo Bay through Portuguese jurisdiction. 1 So said Adil Al-Zamil, prisoner transported on Flight RCH108Y through Portuguese jurisdiction to Guantanamo Bay: “I call the journey to Guantanamo ‘the journey of death.’ I discreetly wished that the plane would fall to end the pain I felt.” Source: Kuwaiti Gitmo Detainees Speak Out about Abuse, By Rania El Gamal, Kuwait Times, December 1, 2006 2 Flight logs obtained by Ana Gomes MEP in 2006 reveal that on at least 94 occasions aircraft crossed Portuguese airspace en route to or from Guantanamo Bay between 2002-2006 . On at least 6 occasions rendition aircraft flew directly from Lajes in the Azores to Guantanamo. See appendix for full copies of the logs. 3 The US Department of Defence has released ‘in-process’ records of Guantanamo inmates, detailing when prisoners were first weighed and measured on entry to the prison. It is possible confirm the identities of prisoners transported to Guantanamo through Portuguese jurisdiction by matching the ‘in- process’ dates of particular prisoners held in Guantanamo with flights contained in the Portuguese flight logs.
