The United States Department of Defense confirms the detention of twelve Sudanese nationals at Guantanamo. Since the establishment of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba on January 11, 2002, a total of 779 individuals have been held in extrajudicial detention. The detainee population reached its highest point around 2004, with nearly 660 inmates. Following the United States Supreme Court decision in Rasul v. Bush, only nineteen additional detainees, all classified as "high value," were transferred to the facility. By December 2013, the number of detainees was approximately 160.
