Paul Rusesabagina
[edit]is not American. Crystal Buchanan Falck (talk) 09:49, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- You are right - he is not a citizen but he is a Green Card holder (permanent resident). Clarification has been added to his entry, and I am double checking and clarifying this for everyone in the list who is also a permanent resident to avoid confusion.

Table Formatting & Improvements
[edit]I have taken it upon myself to apply consistent formatting to the tables created for detainees for each country/region and on each continent. I have also applied a color scheme for each person's status to allow the large amount of data to be more easily read and understood. Finally, my goal is to add additional citations where available and cross-check news and NGO lists of detainees to ensure this list is as complete as it can be.
Any feedback would be welcome, or if anyone has a better idea for how to display this information please have at it! ThomasVenelli (talk) 09:47, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
