The United States transferred a dozen detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Afghanistan, Yemen and the Somaliland region as the Obama administration continues to move captives out of the facility in Cuba to prepare for its closure.
The Justice Department said Sunday that a government task force had reviewed each case. Officials considered the potential threat and the government’s likelihood of success in court to the detentions.
Over the weekend, four Afghan detainees were transferred to their home country. Two Somali detainees were transferred to authorities in Somaliland, the semi-autonomous northern region of Somalia. Six Yemeni detainees also were sent home.
The Justice Department said that since 2002, more than 560 detainees have departed the military prison in Cuba and that 198 remain.
The Justice Department those sent home as:
Afghans Abdul Hafiz, Mohamed Rahim and Mohammed Hashim.
Somali detainees Mohammed Soliman Barre and Ismael Arale.
Yemenis Jamal Muhammad Alawi Mari, Farouq Ali Ahmed, Ayman Saeed Abdullah Batarfi, Muhammaed Yasir Ahmed Taher, Fayad Yahya Ahmed al Rami and Riyad Atiq Ali Abdu al Haf.
Mohammed Albasha, spokesman for Yemen’s embassy, said it “ hails the release and transfer of six of its citizens from Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Yemen will continue its diplomatic dialogue with the United States government to repatriate the remaining Yemeni detainees.”
