First published in March 2009, this list was updated on January 1, 2010, when 574 prisoners had been released (42 under Obama), and 198 remained, and was updated again on July 12, 2010, when 591 prisoners had been released, and 181 remained.
The following list (also see Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4) is part of an ongoing project (now in its fifth year) to record the stories of all the prisoners held at the US prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The first fruit of this research was my book The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America’s Illegal Prison, published by Pluto Press, distributed by Macmillan in the US, and available from Amazon (US and UK), in which I related the story of Guantánamo, established a chronology explaining where and when the prisoners were seized, told the stories of around 450 of these prisoners, and provided a context for the circumstances in which the remainder of the prisoners were captured.
Between November 2007 and February 2009, I also published 12 online chapters telling the stories of over 250 prisoners that I was unable to include in the book (either because they were not available at the time of writing, or to keep the book at a manageable length), and since May 2007 I have written over 650 articles about Guantánamo, for a variety of publications, expanding on and updating the stories of all 779 prisoners. In particular, I have covered the stories of the 199 prisoners released from Guantánamo since June 2007 in unprecedented depth. I have also covered the stories of the 27 prisoners charged in Guantánamo’s Military Commission trial system in more detail than is available from most, if not all other sources, and have endeavored to do the same with the Guantánamo prisoners’ habeas corpus petitions, covering the 51 cases decided to date in the District Court in Washington D.C. (37 of which have been won by the prisoners) as thoroughly as possible.
As a result, this is the most comprehensive list ever published of the 779 prisoners who have been held at Guantánamo, providing details of the 591 prisoners who have been released (and the dates of their release), and the 181 prisoners who are still held (including the prisoners cleared for release but not freed under President Bush, and, where possible, identifying some of the 97 remaining prisoners cleared for release by President Obama’s Guantánamo Review Task Force). I will, of course, continue to update it as more prisoners are released.
The list provides links to my articles or online chapters telling the stories of over 400 prisoners, and, where these are not available online, provides references for the chapters in The Guantánamo Files where their stories can be found. The stories of 87 prisoners remain unknown, because they were released in 2003 or 2004, and the Pentagon has not been obliged to publish any information relating to these men, and their stories have not surfaced in the media or in research undertaken by NGOs.
It is my hope that this project will provide an invaluable research tool for those seeking to understand how it came to pass that the government of the United States turned its back on domestic and international law, establishing torture as official US policy, and holding men without charge or trial neither as prisoners of war, protected by the Geneva Conventions, nor as criminal suspects to be put forward for trial in a federal court, but as “illegal enemy combatants.”
I also hope that it provides a compelling explanation of how that same government, under the leadership of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, established a prison in which the overwhelming majority of those held — at least 93 percent of the 779 men and boys imprisoned in total — were either completely innocent people, seized as a result of dubious intelligence or sold for bounty payments, or Taliban foot soldiers, recruited to fight an inter-Muslim civil war that began long before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and that had nothing to do with al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden or international terrorism.

How to use the list
In the categories below, ISN refers to the Internment Serial Number by which the prisoners are (or were) known and identified in Guantánamo, followed by the prisoners’ status (released, cleared for release, still held, or, in five cases, deceased), their names (with just some of the many different permutations noted, in some cases), their nationality, and links or references to chapters in The Guantánamo Files. Links on the release dates feed into articles published when the prisoners were released.
Of the prisoners cleared for release, some, as indicated, were cleared by military review boards under the Bush administration, others (37 at the time of writing) had been cleared by judges in US courts, who had granted their habeas corpus petitions, and 97 had been cleared by the Obama administration’s interagency Task Force, which reviewed their cases last year. The Task Force has not announced the names of the prisoners it has cleared (although many are the same as those cleared under Bush, and the figures also include those cleared by the courts). As a result, several dozen prisoners in these lists have also been cleared, but I am unable to provide details.
To establish more context, the chapters in the book, and the online chapters, deal with the following places in which the prisoners were seized (or, in other cases, their rendition and torture in secret prisons):
Captured in Afghanistan: Chapters 2, 3, 9, 10, 14, 17, Website Extras 1, 2, 7, 8, 11, 12
Captured crossing from Afghanistan into Pakistan: Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, Website Extras 3, 4, 5, 6
Captured in Pakistan: Chapters 12, 13, Website Extras 9, 10
Subjected to “extraordinary rendition” and/or detention in secret prisons: Chapters 16, 20, Website Extras 11
In addition, Chapter 8 refers to imprisonment at the US prison at Kandahar airport, Chapter 11 deals with the early months of Guantánamo’s existence, Chapter 14 also deals with imprisonment in the US prison at Bagram airbase, Chapter 15 refers to torture and abuse in Guantánamo, Chapter 18 refers to legal challenges, and Chapter 19 refers to hunger strikes, suicide attempts and medical malpractice.
