The US Defence Department has appointed a senior official to oversee a review to decide whether some of the 600 detainees at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba can be set free.

The review by Navy Secretary Gordon England will give prisoners the chance to provide facts to support their case for release.

The review will be conducted in secret by a panel of three military officers.
