Yemeni team to receive Guantanamo detainees |
2005-03-26 |
![]() The sources said the approval by the US administration to hand over the detainees came at Yemen's request. Yemen promised to investigate the charges against the detainees, and put those involved in terrorist acts or any other punishable crimes on trial according to Yemeni laws. "The security team will verify the identities of the Yemeni citizens and their exact numbers by comparing the documents." Earlier, Yemen demanded verification of the identities of 106 detainees on the list it had received from the United States. Earlier this month, a US judge in New York blocked the transfer of 13 inmates to Yemen for "fear they would be tortured". |
