Washington, June 15 (RHC)-- Six Yememi prisoners have been transferred from Guantanamo to Oman, marking the first release from the prison in five months. The six men have been held without trial for more than 13 years.
One of the prisoners, Emad Abdullah Hassan, has staged hunger strikes for years over his imprisonment without charge. Despite Obama’s 2009 vow to close Guantanamo within a year, 116 prisoners still remain incarcerated on the illegally held portion of Cuban territory.
