  • Al Yazidi, 59, was never charged and had been approved for transfer over a decade ago.
  • His transfer is part of a push by the Biden administration to reduce Gitmo's detainee numbers.
  • Post-transfer, 26 detainees remain at the facility, with several approved for future transfers.
  • Al Yazidi was the last Tunisian detainee, part of a group captured in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
