Obama, Hadi Pledge to Repatriate Yemeni Prisoners at Guantánamo; No Timeline Given 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama and Yemeni President Abdo Rabu Mansour Hadi met at the
White House Thursday and pledged to work together to repatriate Yemeni
prisoners held at Guantánamo. Human rights groups criticized Obama for
failing to lay out concrete steps for the transfers. Of the 86
Guantánamo prisoners cleared for release or transfer, 56 are from
Yemen.
