U.S. Transfers 11 Yemeni Prisoners from Guantánamo to Oman; 15 Prisoners Remain

HeadlineJan 07, 2025

The U.S. has transferred 11 Yemeni prisoners from Guantánamo Bay to Oman, nearly halving the number of Guantánamo’s remaining detainees. None of the released men were ever charged or given due process during their more than two-decades-long imprisonment. Rights groups are calling on the Biden administration to resettle Guantánamo’s last 15 prisoners and close the prison once and for all. Six of those remaining have never been charged with a crime, and three have been cleared for transfer by the Biden administration.
