Yesterday it was announced that the Review board (PRB) has approved for transfer Yemeni Majid
Mahmoud Ahmed (ISN 41).
The prison
population remains at 91: 35 are cleared, 46 are awaiting clearance, and 10 are
in the military commission system (of those, 7 are in “active” “trial”
proceedings while 3 have been “convicted”).
Of the 35
cleared, 29 (82.9%) are Yemenis and 6 are non-Yemenis.
Of the 46
awaiting clearance, 20 are Yemenis and 26 are non-Yemenis.
The PRB has
approved for transfer 18 of the 21 detainees for whom it has issued decisions.
Of the 46
detainees who are PRB-eligible and still awaiting clearance, three were denied
clearance in their initial appearance before the PRB; 10 are officially in the
PRB process and awaiting their first hearing or decision; and the remaining 33
have not yet officially begun the process. (For these purposes, a
detainee is “officially in the PRB process” when he shows up on the PRB web
page tracking individual detainees’ proceedings.)
h/o to fellow Gitmo attorney Brian Foster for providing these updates.
