"The prison population now stands at 107: 48 are cleared, 49 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 48
cleared, 39 (81%) are Yemenis and 9 are non-Yemenis.
Of the 49
awaiting clearance, 23 are Yemenis and 26 are non-Yemenis.
Of note: for the
first time, Yemenis slated for conditional detention have been
transferred out of the prison. Our client Adil Busayss had been cleared
by the Bush Administration and then placed in the conditional-detention
category by the Obama Task Force. And al Rahizi (ISN 45) had been placed
in indefinite detention by the Task Force and then approved for transfer by the
PRB with the “conditions normally associated with conditional detention.”
As a result, the conditional-detention category has dropped for the first time,
and now stands at 31.
The PRB has now
approved for transfer 15 of the 18 detainees for whom it has issued
decisions. Four detainees are officially in the PRB process and awaiting
their first hearing or decision. 42 detainees are PRB-eligible but 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.)"
