US repatriates 3 Guantanamo Bay detainees, including one held 17 years without charge
Boston Herald - Dec 18th, 2024
The U.S. has repatriated two Malaysian detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Malaysia after they pleaded guilty to charges related to the 2002 Bali bombings and agreed to testify against the alleged ringleader, Encep Nurjaman. The transfer leaves 27 detainees at Guantanamo. Nurjaman remains in custody, awaiting trial for the Bali bombings and other attacks. The news follows the recent repatriation of a Kenyan man detained for 17 years without charge. Amnesty International has called on President Biden to end the indefinite detention of those never charged at Guantanamo before leaving office.
