Motions Hearing in Al-Nashiri: October 23 Session
We begin the three-day hearing in United States v. Al-Nashiri with a modest venue change---not at Guantanamo, but at Fort Meade. The familiar Smallwood Hall will not be the site for our CCTV broadcast. Instead, we've relocated to Burba Cottage, a nearby event space on Fort Meade's sprawling campus.

We begin the three-day hearing in United States v. Al-Nashiri with a modest venue change---not at Guantanamo, but at Fort Meade. The familiar Smallwood Hall will not be the site for our CCTV broadcast. Instead, we've relocated to Burba Cottage, a nearby event space on Fort Meade's sprawling campus. It boasts many windows, and even a lake view.
The procedure, though, is very much the same as always: throughout the day, you'll find posts in our Events Coverage section, with links to the posts below.
October 23 Session #1: Statement from the Chief Prosecutor
October 23 Session #2: Presence Lite, and an Untimely Submission from the Convening Authority
October 23 Session #3: Presence, Fully Discussed, and Proceedings, Quickly Recessed
