The U.S. government did not respond to specific detainees’ and detainees’ family members’ claims regarding treatment, conditions, and criticisms of due process. Family members also have quite limited knowledge of the conditions and procedural or legal status of detainees given U.S. restrictions on the nature and substance of communications between detainees and their family members. However, criticisms and claims regarding problems in due process afforded detainees, as well as understanding of the status of their cases, and repatriation negotiations were consistent among detainees and detainees’ families and broadly consistent with reporting and findings of other non-governmental organizations. Despite several requests at multiple, and at the highest, levels the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Islamabad denied requests for interviews or for answers to written questions. JPP sought several times to meet with U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) officials in Washington, D.C., specifically with the office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Policy. Though JPP has met with DOD officials on detainee policy several times before, JPP was unable to secure a meeting in time for publication of the report. Requests for answers to written questions were submitted but no answer was received as of the date of publication of this report. 9
