Guantanamo Bay detention camp

United States military prison in southeastern Cuba

The Guantanamo Bay detention camp, also known as GTMO or GITMO, is a United States military prison within Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (NSGB), on the coast of Guantรกnamo Bay, Cuba. It was established in January 2002 by U.S. President George W. Bush to hold terrorism suspects and "illegal enemy combatants" during the Global War on Terrorism following the attacks of September 11, 2001. As of August 2024, at least 780 persons from 48 countries have been detained at the camp since its creation, of whom 740 had been transferred elsewhere, 9 died in custody, and 30 remain; only 16 detainees have ever been charged by the U.S. with criminal offenses.
