Guantanamo Panel Approves Transfer of First High-Value Detainee
On Monday, a Somali man who has been held at
Guantánamo Bay as a high-value prisoner was approved for transfer with security
assurances, making him the first detainee who was brought there from a CIA
black site to be recommended for release. Guled Hassan Duran, 47, who was
captured in Djibouti in 2004, spent about 900 days in CIA custody and has been
held in classified detention facilities at Guantánamo without charge since
September 2006. He became one of the 39 detainees still at Guantánamo with
approval for transfer once U.S. diplomats find countries to accept them with
security guarantees that satisfy the Secretary of Defense.
