Three Yemenis and 2 Tunisians held for more than a decade on the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo are actually flown to Kazakhstan for resettlement, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, the most recent in a flurry of prisoner transfers directed at closing the facility.
The transfer from the five men followed a recently available pledge by President Barack Obama for the stepped-up push to shut the internationally condemned detention center where most prisoners happen to be held without having to be charged or tried.
The United States moved a complete of 28 prisoners from Guantanamo this coming year – the greatest number since 2009 – along with a senior U.S. official said further transfers are anticipated in coming weeks. The inmate population there's now been whittled as a result of 127.
