A third prisoner from Guantanamo Bay did not want to go to the Balkans
The Pentagon announced that it had sent Abd al-Aziz prisoner Abdu Ali al-Suwaydi (age 41) from Guantánamo to Montenegro to start a new life. As reported by Rouuters, the prisoner was there for more than 13 years. The decision that he could be released and not dangerous was taken six years ago.
As reported by the US Department of Defense, Tariq Mahmoud Ahmed al-Sawah, the age of 54, who has health problems, was transferred to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
A third prisoner, Mohammed Bauazir, 35, from Yemen, refused to board the plane at the last moment, and remained in prison at the US military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The decision to release him was taken by the US authorities in 2008. In which country in the Balkans it was sent - it is not reported. According to the prisoner, he did not board the plane, as he did not want to start a new life in the Balkans. John Chandler, a prisoner's lawyer, said that the logic of his client is not clear to him, but his client needs to be understood, he was emotionally and should not be forgotten, because his client, Mohammed Bauazir, arrested in Afghanistan at the age of 21, prison for 14 years. The prisoner also said that he can not live where there are no relatives, and agrees to go to the UAE, Indonesia. The US has not yet managed to agree with these countries on the admission of the prisoner.
Bauhazir went on a hunger strike for several years to protest the conditions of detention and the unknown term of his imprisonment. Because of the hunger strike, the prisoner was forcibly fed.
American officials report that the release of prisoners is the fulfillment of the American president's goal, and this is the closure of the prison. However, the congress impedes this, and therefore there are searches for third countries that will take prisoners, given that their release was approved by the US authorities.
In 2003, 680 prisoners were held in jail to keep international terrorists, the first party of twenty detainees arrived from Afghanistan, they were accused for participation on the side of extremists of Islam. Until 2006, there were 750 prisoners in prison who were captured by US forces and accused of involvement on the side of Al Qaeda or the Taliban. Until 2006, the names of prisoners were kept in strict secrecy, in April 2006, the Pentagon provided a list of prisoners from 41 countries.
The prison is also a place for keeping Uighur separatists, whom America refuses to extradite to the PRC.
