The US is preparing to apply new rules that will allow prisoners being held in Afghanistan to challenge their detention, US defence officials say, according to BBC.
The administration of US President Barack Obama will assign all prisoners, who are held at the Bagram air base, a US official to handle their case.
The prisoners will be given the chance to go before review boards.
Mr Obama has pledged to review former US detention policies and vowed to close the Guantanamo Bay jail in Cuba.
