Media Invited to Observe Guantanamo Periodic Review Board Hearing
The Department of Defense has announced an invitation for media representatives to observe a upcoming Periodic Review Board (PRB) hearing for detainee Mohammed Mani Ahmad al-Qahtani. The hearing is scheduled to take place on May 25, 2021, at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba.
The Periodic Review Board is a critical component of the process for reviewing the status of certain detainees held at Guantanamo Bay. These boards are convened to determine whether continued law of armed conflict detention is necessary, or if the detainee can be transferred to the custody of another country or released. The reviews consider a variety of factors, including intelligence assessments, the detainee’s actions and behavior, and any potential threat they may pose.
This particular hearing for Mr. al-Qahtani marks a significant step in his case. The media’s presence at these proceedings is intended to provide transparency and allow for public observation of the review process. Qualified media representatives who wish to attend must submit a request by May 19, 2021. Further details regarding the application process and logistical arrangements for media attendance are available through the Defense Department’s official channels.
The Department of Defense remains committed to a thorough and deliberate review of detainee cases, ensuring that all legal and security considerations are addressed. The invitation for media observation underscores the commitment to transparency in these important proceedings.
