to contest the factual basis for that detention before a neutral decisionmaker.

Maybe it's my lay understanding of "sentence" but I don't find "sentence" in there. Sounds more like a hearing to me where the party can claim that he's not the right guy or that he's misclassified as to status, not a trial where he's found guilty of something and ordered to serve time for it.

Also, that decision was for a US citizen someone claimed to be an "enemy combatant." For detainees not in both of those categories then the rest of the paragraph may not apply, seems to me.
