In a complete U-turn on its terror policy, US officials recommended on Friday that one of the 76 prisoners cleared for release been allowed to return to his homeland, Yemen after it was established he did represent a threat to national security.
Ali Ahmad Mohammad al-Rahizi, who was arrested back in 2001, one of Guantanamo Penitentiary’s first prisoners (US infamous terror detainment centre, has spent over a decade in prison even though a US court completely cleared him of all terror charges brought against him by the US government.
Legally proven innocent, al-Rahizi, alongside 75 other detainees has nevertheless remained in detention due to US officials’ fears that Gitmo’s detainees might want to seek revenge by joining terror groups back home. But it seems now that rights activists tireless campaigning for the repatriation of all of Yemen’s Gitmo detainees combined with the support of Yemeni state officials have hit home and forced the US government to review its position.
A statement issued by the review board on Friday read, “In al-Rahizi’s case, the PRB by consensus, determined continued law of war detention of the detainee is no longer necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the security of the United States.”
While of course al-Rahizi’s clearance for release does not constitute in itself a return ticket, even though from a pure legal standpoint he should be entitled to return home without further delay, it nevertheless proves that US officials no longer desire, or at least deem feasible, to detain alleged terror prisoners ad vitam eternam.
