A detainee, languishing in prison in the United Arab Emirates, tells his brother: 'I wish I return to Guantanamo ... it’s 1,000 times worse here.” How families say the U.S. reneged on its promises and sent prisoners on a hellish odyssey.

The family of a second detainee, Salem, said: “We fear they will be gunned down or rounded up as soon as they put a foot in Yemen.”

Moss blamed the current administration for lack of engagement, saying that “the Emiratis knew that the Trump administration didn’t care about what they did with these people or how they treated them. This is disgraceful.” Katie Taylor is deputy director of the United Kingdom-based group Reprieve and coordinator of the group’s Life After Guantanamo project. She told the AP that after documenting the lives of nearly 60 former detainees in 25 countries, “I have to say that the situation facing the men resettled in the UAE is among the worst and most troubling.”It is not clear whether there are now 17 or 18 detainees in UAE hands; unconfirmed reports suggest one Yemeni left prison because of medical complications.

—Bir, a 41-year-old nurse, was identified by Guantanamo’s Periodic Review Board in 2015 as a “low-level Yemeni militant” who was arrested in Pakistani raids in Sept 2002 and transferred to Guantanamo. He has never physically met his 19-year-old son Yusuf, who lives in London. But they have talked: Yusuf said his father complained that he had been humiliated by his captors and had been deprived of food and medicine.

Poor guys. I really feel sorry for them.

Hear that ? That’s nobody listening

So what those dirty sand thugs are terrorist.

Interesting how no one is talking about what got them there in the first place.

If you can't send 18 Yemeni prisoners to Yemen without them complaining, you really have nowhere to send them do you AP?

😆

wow, I don't feel bad for them

What's the problem? Everybody wanted them out of Gitmo, and now they are. Some through transfers that were most definitely not legal, but hey, in the end the libs got their way. So. What's the problem? Shouldn't you be happy? This is what you wanted.

Zero fucks given about these terrorists.

it's nice you compared Arabian jail and American, there prisoners have comparable human rights. zero rights

I thought Guantanamo is a world wide atrocity.

lol

Lol Obama pushed to close GITMO? He had like 2 speeches and gave up. Then turned South Yemen into the surface of the moon with all his drone strikes on innocent Yemeni people

Cry me a fucking river.

Gitmo is a decades long running war crime. There are a lot of people who should be in jail re: Gitmo, and very few of them are the detainees.

They are killers torturers, mulilaters. Lets make it worse. America said they will pay, this is the bill. Guess family wishes they would have raised them to Not kill

They’re lucky they never met us.

It's amazing that everyone is laughing it up and talking about what people deserve. From what I've been told everyone deserves a fair trial. How many of these prisoners have had one? They're all just guilty because someone said so.

If I went back into the AP archives, I bet I could find a column where you complain about how awful Guantanamo is. AP is a joke.

Oh no.. big, bad USA sent poor terrorist prisoners back to the shitty countries they came from? How dare they?

Wait, wasn’t Gitmo a blemish on America’s image? Wasn’t Obama determined to close it on Day One of his administration because it was so evil?

Hate to hear it

Lol so now Guantanamo is good?

Us and EU not only supported fascist and opressive regimes across the globe but also chase down those who dissented against such cruel regimes. Many killed, many in harsh prisons. EveryLiveMatters

LMFAO

Send them to my neighborhood. We will deal with their issues quickly.

isn't what he signed up for? enjoy it mate.

Oh, poor things. They are where they deserve to be. They chose their fate.

This is satire, right?

Who cares? They're criminals. Here's a novel idea: let's focus on helping the good, moral, peaceful people in the world.

If you can't do the time then don't do the crime doo wap doo was doo wap doo wap

Imagine giving any kind of shit about imprisoned terrorists.

Oh boohoo. The poor murderers dont like their jail cell 😭

I really don’t give a fuck what they want or feel like.

Hahahaha

Whiners. Don’t like prison, don’t be a terrorist. Easy solution.

If you can't do the time don't do the crime simples

Families of people killed on 9/11 will be really upset about their plight.

Being terrorists isn't working out?

They deserve it

Jail of choice ?🙏😂

Let every one of them suffer as their victims suffered.

The fewer terrorists the US taxpayer has to pay for the better.

Ahahaha hahaha,.. Bitch, please.

What Do they want a reward for killing people? You must be kidding!!!

Poor terrorists

Who’s this? Hunter? What he was doing?

Boofuckinghooo...
