Who is Brandon Neely?

Brandon Neely is a former Army guard at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, in Cuba. Neely is notable for agreeing to be interviewed by the Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas at the University of California, at Davis.

Neely declined to respond to a recall to active duty from the Individual Ready Reserve in 2007. Neely reported that, after receiving letters from the Department of Defense, he was sent an honorable discharge from the Army Reserve.

In January 2010, Neely flew to the United Kingdom and met with former captives. Neely and Ruhal Ahmed and Shafiq Rasul reconnected in 2009 via Rasul's Facebook page. The BBC Radio was scheduled to air a documentary about the meeting on January 14, 2010.
