US Transfers Guantanamo Inmate Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi Back to Tunisia

The Department of Defense announces the repatriation of Guantanamo inmate, signaling ongoing transfers as the detention facility faces scrutiny.


Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi has been repatriated to Tunisia following a comprehensive review by U.S. authorities. This move highlights the ongoing efforts to reduce the detainee population at Guantanamo Bay, amid broader discussions about the facility's future and its implications on U.S. foreign policy.


Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi, a detainee at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, has been sent back to Tunisia, confirmed by the United States Department of Defense. His transfer follows what officials describe as a "rigorous interagency review process," although the Pentagon did not disclose whether al-Yazidi accepted any responsibility for his actions during his time in detention.

Established in 2002, Guantanamo Bay has served to detain individuals classified by U.S. authorities as unlawful combatants amid the ongoing "war on terror." The facility is situated within a U.S. naval base in Cuba, and with this recent transfer, the number of detainees has been reduced to 26, of which 14 are eligible for further transfer.

The decision to repatriate al-Yazidi comes during a period of intensifying scrutiny regarding human rights concerns and the overall efficacy of the facility in addressing issues of national security and justice. Several detainees at Guantanamo have faced extended periods without trial, leading to discussions over legal and ethical implications surrounding their detention.

In parallel, recent reports indicate other notable developments at the facility, including a plea deal reached by three men accused of participating in the planning of the September 11 attacks. This surge in activity underscores the complexities involved in managing the Guantanamo detainee population while addressing both national and international pressures surrounding the location’s operational practices.
