On May 15, 2006, the United States Department of Defense confirmed that it was detaining seven Uzbek nationals at Guantanamo. The Guantanamo Bay detainment camps commenced operations on January 11, 2002, situated within the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba. During the Bush administration, individuals captured as part of the "global war on terror" were held in extrajudicial confinement without public disclosure of their identities. Often, their families and acquaintances had no information regarding their locations.

The Associated Press submitted a FOIA request seeking the detainees' names. Initially, the Department of Defense resisted releasing this data, citing concerns over detainee privacy rather than national security. After all legal avenues were pursued, a judicial ruling mandated the DoD to reveal the full list of detainee identities.
