Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the New York City, the armed forces of the United States arrested a large number of people from around the world. The US government alleged that these people had links with the attacks and were enemies of the United States. The families of the prisoners had no information about them for a very long time. Even the national governments of their countries weren't consulted or informed. They weren't presented in front of any magistrate and were denied the rights of the prisoners. They couldn't approach the courts of their own countries and were tortured in ways that violated the US law.
The correct statement would be, prisoners in Guantanamo Bay were not detained as per the law.
