In early March 2009, London-based journalist Andy Worthington released online a comprehensive list of the 779 detainees who were held and have been released, or are still detained, at the prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Worthington is also the author of The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America's Illegal Prison.
As of March 2009, approximately 245 detainees remain at Guantánamo . Since the prison opened in January 2002, two trials have been completed under the unconstitutional military commissions system. The ACLU has been monitoring the military commission proceedings at Guantánamo since they first started in 2004, and advocates for the detainees' cases to be tried in U.S. federal courts.
In a podcast interview, ACLU National Security Project Staff Attorney Jonathan Hafetz talked to Andy Worthington about the Definitive Prisoner List.
