Fayez-Al-Kandari

KUWAIT: Well-informed sources said that the US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter has signed the release of the Kuwaiti Guantanamo Bay detainee Fayez Al-Kandari. The sources explained that this step was preceded by other procedures and measures taken to free Kandari and return him to Kuwait.

"Signing the release is an important step towards putting an end to the sufferings of the last Kuwaiti Guantanamo detainee," stressed the sources.

Notably, the US had agreed last month to transfer 33 Guantanamo detainees as part of President Barak Obama's efforts to empty the prison of all detainees. - Al-Rai
