The United States military announced on Thursday that it had repatriated an Algerian detainee held for more than a decade in the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prison complex.

The move which sent 44-year-old Ahmed Belbacha back to Algeria marked the first transfer by the United States this year, and brought the number of inmates at the prison camp down to 154.


According to the Miami Herald, Belbacha was convicted on charges related to terrorism in Algeria about five years ago, but was never charged with a crime by the US during his 12-year detainment in Guantanamo. In 2007, Belbacha stated he did not want to return to Algeria due to fears of government retaliation, but eventually changed his mind in order to see his family again.

He wants to go home and spend time with his parents, Alka Pradhan, his attorney, said to the Herald. What happens once he returns will depend on the Algerian government and any agreements between them and the United States. But our hope is that he will be now finally be allowed to freely return to his family.

I think this is great to see that someone that has never been tried in a court is finally being released from Guantanamo Bay. No one should be there and this is a start.

What do you think of it?

It's in Cuba for a reason.
Human rights law and civil liberties are completely different from America.

It's obvious what goes on there.

Although i'm not against it.

Accused and convicted terrorists, traitors, etc. are being tortured, not a single law abiding American Citizen.

I value the life of a 1 American Solider over 10 terrorists.

Intelligence is the ONE thing that keeps American troops alive and in order to extract it from terrorists, some things come into play that most disagree with.


For the record, I made this reply with the expectation to get a lot of downvotes.
But to be fair, I don't care.

My views and my opinions.
Not yours.
