"Said Mohammed" redirects here. For the place in Iran, see Said Mohammad.

This article is about all detainees that have spent time at Guantanamo Bay. For detainees currently held at Guantanamo, see List of current detainees at Guantanamo Bay.

All known detainees by nationality

1. Afghans (29.0%)
2. Saudis (17.0%)
3. Yemenis (15.0%)
4. Pakistanis (9.00%)
5. Algerians (3.00%)
6. Others (27.0%)

As of January 6, 2025, 15 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay. This list of Guantánamo prisoners has the known identities of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba, but is compiled from various sources and is incomplete. In official documents, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) continues to make intermittent efforts to redact prisoner's names.

The Washington Post maintains a list of the prisoners known or suspected to have been held in Guantánamo Bay.

On March 3, 2006, the DoD partially complied with a court order to release the names of the remaining Guantánamo detainees. The court order required the DoD to release the names of all the detainees. Initially, the DoD released only 317 names. Then, on April 19, 2006, the DoD released a list with 558 names in what appears to be a fax or other scanned image. The Associated Press published the list in more accessible text form. Pentagon spokesmen Bryan Whitman justified withholding the names out of a concern for the detainees' privacy, although Judge Jed Rakoff had already dismissed this argument. On April 20, 2006, the DoD released a portable document format file that listed 558 names. The 558 individuals on the list were those whose detention had been reviewed by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal (CSRT). The list gave the detainee's ID number, their name, and their home country.

The names of several hundred prisoners who had been released prior to the commencement of the CSRTs were not released. The list did not specify whether the prisoners were still in detention at Guantanamo; whether they had been determined to be "enemy combatants"; whether they were released, or repatriated to the custody of their home countries. On May 15, 2006, the DoD released what they called a complete list of all 759 former and current inmates who had been held in military custody in the detainment camps after a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) action was filed by the Associated Press. On June 17, 2013, the Miami Herald published a list, also obtained using the FOIA, of 48 prisoners who were designated for indefinite detainment. On May 31, 2014, the Obama Administration was reported to have swapped 5 prisoners (Abdul Haq Wasiq, Mullah Norullah Nori, Khairullah Khairkhwa, Mohammed Nabi and Mohammed Fazi) in return for Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl who was captured after deserting his post.

On January 16, 2017, the Federal government of the United States announced that ten prisoners were released to Oman, leaving about 45 detainees. In December 2024, 4 prisoners were released, and on January 6, 2025, 11 Yemeni prisoners were transferred to Oman, bringing down the total number of prisoners left to 15. Of all prisoners at Guantanamo, Afghans were the largest group (29 percent), followed by Saudi Arabians (17 percent), Yemenis (15 percent), Pakistanis (9 percent), and Algerians (3 percent). France and the United Kingdom are the most represented in Europe, with 16 and 12 prisoners respectively. Overall, 50 nationalities were present at Guantanamo.

Migrant Operations Center

The Guantanamo base has for many years included a facility, known as the Migrant Operations Center, where U.S. immigration officials have screened some asylum-seekers intercepted at sea. That area is separate from Guantanamo Bay's post-9/11 military prison. Since February, 2025, the Trump administration has moved varying numbers of persons, detained in the mainland US during immigration-related operations, to Guantanamo for deportation processing. Names of those detained at Guantanamo since 2025 have not been officially released.

List

Roughly 780 detainees have been brought to Guantanamo. Although most of these have been released without charge, the United States government continues to classify many of these released detainees as "enemy combatants". By January 19, 2017, at the end of the Obama Administration, the detention center remained open with 41 detainees remaining. As of May 2025, 15 detainees are still held at Guantanamo.

CSRT is Combatant Status Review Tribunals.

Individuals with "SAMWL" are listed on the Saudi Arabian most wanted list, released in February 2009.

Details about seven deaths reported as suicides and reports of attempted suicides are at Guantanamo suicide attempts.
