Guantanamo Periodic Review Board Media Invitation for Abd Al-Salam Al-Hilah Cancelled
Washington D.C. – The Department of Defense has announced the cancellation of a previously scheduled media invitation related to the Periodic Review Board (PRB) for detainee Abd Al-Salam Al-Hilah. The announcement was made on August 21, 2020.
The Periodic Review Board is a process established to review the continued necessity of holding certain detainees at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station. These reviews are conducted to assess whether a detainee’s continued detention is necessary to protect against a significant threat to the national security of the United States.
While the original announcement indicated an intention to invite media to observe the proceedings, the subsequent cancellation means that public access to this specific review will not be granted at this time. Details regarding the reasons for the cancellation have not been publicly elaborated upon.
The PRB process is a critical component of the ongoing efforts to manage the detainee population at Guantanamo. Each review involves a thorough evaluation of intelligence, security considerations, and the detainee’s personal circumstances. The boards are comprised of senior officials from various U.S. government agencies.
Further information regarding the status of Abd Al-Salam Al-Hilah’s review or any future opportunities for media engagement on this matter has not been provided. The Department of Defense continues to manage the detainee population in accordance with applicable legal frameworks and national security interests.
