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

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.
