Biden Transfers 11 Yemeni Detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Oman

The transfer reduces the Guantanamo detainee population to 15, the lowest since the facility's establishment in 2002.

The Pentagon announced the transfer of 11 Yemeni detainees, held for over two decades without charge, to Oman as part of the Biden administration's effort to reduce Guantanamo's population.
The detainees, some suspected of ties to al-Qaeda, include individuals previously accused of being Osama bin Laden’s bodyguards and other alleged terrorist links.
Oman has agreed to assist in resettling the detainees, as Yemen's instability prevents repatriation to their home country.
The transfer leaves 15 detainees at Guantanamo, with six uncharged, seven involved in military commission cases, and two convicted and sentenced.
Human rights groups have long criticized Guantanamo for indefinite detention without trial, urging its closure, a goal Biden has pursued but is unlikely to achieve before leaving office.
