According to a document released by the Department of Defense on October 16, 2006, "Administrative Review Boards [or ARBs] are annual reviews to determine the need to continue the detention of an enemy combatant. The review includes an assessment of whether the enemy combatant poses a threat to the United States or its allies in the ongoing armed conflict against terrorist such as al Qaeda and its affiliates and supporters and whether there are other factors bearing on the need for continued detention (e.g., intelligence value). Based on that assessment, a review board will recommend whether an individual should be released, transferred or continue to be detained. This process will help ensure no one is detained any longer than is warranted, and that no one is released who remains a threat to our nation’s security."

The first round of ARBs took place in 2005. It involved 247 prisoners. Summaries of the proceedings of these ARBs were made public in the Department of Defense website in the summer of 2007 (see here). CSHRA has extracted, from the materials made public, the summary of each prisoner's proceedings, and posted it under the prisoner's name below.
