Overview
The Pentagon has announced the transfer of 11 Yemeni detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Oman, reducing the inmate count to just 15. None of the detainees were ever charged with crimes during their lengthy detention. The Biden administration is making progress towards closing Guantanamo, a facility that has drawn criticism for human rights abuses since its establishment. This transfer follows a series of recent moves to lower the detention population amid mounting calls for the facility's closure. As the situation stands, significant detainees linked to terrorism remain under military commission processes.
