The Biden administration said Saturday that it had completed the repatriation of another Guantánamo Bay detainee, sending Sufiyan Barhoumi from the U.S. military prison in Cuba to his native Algeria.
The U.S. government’s agreement with Algeria was contingent on obtaining “security and humane treatment assurances,” the Pentagon said.“The United States appreciates the willingness of Algeria, and other partners to support ongoing U.S. efforts toward a deliberate and thorough process focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population and ultimately closing of the Guantánamo Bay facility,” the Pentagon said in its news release.
With Barhoumi’s transfer, 37 detainees remain at Guantánamo Bay, 18 of whom are eligible for transfer, officials said. At its peak, nearly 800 people were detained at the facility.
