'Arrest' is a specific legal status. A person detained by military

Tell that to the boys at gitmo.


The people at Gitmo are 'civilian detainee' as per the Laws and
Customs of War.


So in your opinion, the boys at gitmo are not under arrest?


Its a matter of established law. They are not under arrest.

POWs wouldn't be under arrest either. Simply detained under a different status.
