Ex-Guantánamo Prisoner Missing After Forced Repatriation
--------------------------------------------------------



An Algerian man who was held at Guantánamo has gone missing after the
United States sent him back to Algeria against his will. Abdul Aziz Naji
had been held at Guantánamo for eight years but did not want to return
to Algeria because he feared persecution from the Algerian government
and Islamist militants. The Center for Constitutional Rights criticized
the forced repatriation of Naji, saying it was done in violation of the
UN Convention Against Torture and other international laws.
