INTRODUCTION: The Miami Herald guide (as of July 25, 2016) breaks down the status of the last 76 Guantánamo detainees. It starts with those who have been entitled to Periodic Review Board (PRB) hearings. President Obama ordered the hearings in 2011.

Further down, the site charts show which detainees who are gone, both with and without board review, for various reasons.

NOTEWORTHY: Ten captives (listed immediately below) are charged at the war court and are not entitled to go before the PRB. One, Pakistani citizen Majid Khan, and who was educated in Baltimore and already pleaded guilty for being a courier of money used in the al-Qaeda bombing at the J. W. Marriott in Jakarta, Indonesia.

KEY for only one detainee: ^ = Convicted, serving life, still under appeal.

Three other captives were repatriated without Periodic Review Board (PRB) hearings under military commission plea agreements during the period when the Pentagon was setting up the PRB: (1) Ibrahim al Qosi and (2) Noor Uthman Mohammed to Sudan in July 2012 and December 2013 respectively and (3) Omar Khadr to Canada in September 2012.

This is an excellent and very comprehensive review of all the detainees at Gitmo in their various categories and stages of their prosecution, trial, and or possible release status.  

Thanks for stopping – please share this with anyone you choose.
