Credited from: CBSNEWS

  • The Pentagon announced the repatriation of Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi to Tunisia, marking the fourth prisoner release this month from Guantánamo Bay.
  • Al-Yazidi was transported to Guantánamo on January 11, 2002, shortly after the prison's opening, under the George W. Bush administration.
  • His release followed a rigorous interagency review process that deemed him eligible for transfer.
  • Currently, there are 26 prisoners remaining at the facility, a significant decrease from its peak of about 800 detainees.
  • The U.S. has faced ongoing criticism from human rights groups regarding the conditions at Guantánamo, with allegations of torture and abuses.
