Official status reviews

Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants

Following the Supreme Court's ruling in Rasul v. Bush the DoD was required to read a notice to every captive informing them that they would have an opportunity to learn why they were being held, and to offer a response, at their Combatant Status Review Tribunal.

Following the Supreme Court's ruling in Rasul v. Bush the DoD was required to read a notice to every captive informing them that they would have an opportunity to learn why they were being held, and to offer a response, at their Combatant Status Review Tribunal.

Scholars at the Brookings Institution, led by Benjamin Wittes, listed the captives still held in Guantanamo in December 2008, according to whether their detention was justified by certain common allegations: [11]

Writ of habeas corpus

On May 13, 2010, US District Court Judge Henry H. Kennedy, Jr., the Obama administration to release Mingazov under the writ of habeas corpus. [9] [12] [13] Mingazov's was the 35 case where the judge ordered a release. The government had succeeded in convincing a habeas corpus judge continued detention was justified in an additional 13 cases.

A panel of judges on the Washington DC court of appeals reversed Kennedy's release order. [9]

Formerly secret JTF-GTMO assessment

On April 25, 2011, the whistleblower organization WikiLeaks published formerly secret assessments prepared by Joint Task Force Guantanamo. [14] [15] Ravil’s assessment was nine pages and recommended continued detention under DoD Control. [16] It was signed by camp commandant Mark H. Buzby.

Guantanamo Joint Task Force Review

On January 20, 2009, newly inaugurated President Barack Obama issued several Presidential Executive Orders related to the Guantanamo detention center – which he had promised to close during his presidential campaign. Those Executive Orders set up a Guantanamo Review Task Force, intended to replace OARDEC. In October 2013, Freedom of Information Act requests submitted by Carol Rosenberg and her colleagues at the Miami Herald triggered the publication of a list of "final dispositions". [17] According to that list Ravil Mingazov should be "referred for prosecution".

Repatriation discussions

Russian officials are scheduled to travel to Guantanamo on January 17, 2014, to meet with Mingazov. [13] According to the Moscow Times, visiting Russian officials had been turned away in April 2013, because Mingazov had declined to meet with them. [18]

Asylum in the United Kingdom

On November 6, 2015, The Guardian reported that Mingazov's teenage son and his former wife now live in the United Kingdom, and that his family had filed an asylum application on his behalf. [9] His son and former wife arrived in the UK in 2014, and live with other relatives of Mingazov there. [19]

Transfer to the United Arab Emirates

Mingazov was one of the last four individuals to be transferred from Guantanamo before the end of Barack Obama's Presidency. [19] Mingazov, an Afghan, Wali Mohammed, and a Yemeni, Yassim Qasim Mohammed Ismail Qasim, were transferred to the United Arab Emirates, while Jabran al-Qahtani was repatriated to Saudi Arabia, on January 19, 2017, just one day prior to Donald Trump's inauguration. Trump had promised to curtail all transfers from Guantanamo.
