Camp Seven (also known as Camp Platinum) is the most secure camp known within the Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.[1][2]

Its existence was kept secret for the first two years of its use. It was constructed to hold the fourteen "high-value detainees"[3] who had been held by the CIA, and were transferred to military custody on 6 September 2006.
