U.S. Repatriates 2 Guantánamo Prisoners to Saudi Arabia

HeadlineDec 17, 2013

The United States has repatriated two Guantánamo prisoners to Saudi Arabia four years after they were both recommended for transfer. The two men had been held for nearly a dozen years without trial. Meanwhile, the Sudanese government says it expects the last two Guantánamo prisoners from Sudan to be transferred there by Wednesday. Those transfers would bring the total number of prisoners at Guantánamo to 158 after two prisoners were sent to Algeria against their will earlier this month.
