Revision as of 02:04, 6 September 2012 by Geo Swan (Talk | contribs) (→Captives transferred or released from Guantanamo since October 2008)
In late 2008 the Department of Defense published a list of the Guantanamo captives who died in custody, were freed, or were repatriated to the custody of another country.[1] This list was drafted on October 8, 2008, and was published on November 26, 2008. Subsequently several dozen more captives have been released or transferred, and one further captive died in custody in Guantanamo.
