Tunisia touts fair treatment of repatriated Guantanamo prisoners
[Maghrebia] Tunisia on Thursday (June 18th) noted "with satisfaction" the decision to close Guantanamo but rejected media reports that 10 Tunisian prisoners should go to European nations rather than face alleged human rights violations in their native county, Tunisia Online reported. In a statement, the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights noted that two Guantanamo detainees repatriated to Tunisia in 2007 had their sentences reduced. They are now "detained under normal conditions and receive regular visits from their families and lawyers", the ministry said.Posted by: Fred 2009-06-20 |
