The Biden administration has approved the release of three prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay for almost 20 years without charge, according to The New York Times.
Citing US government officials and lawyers for the detainees, the Times reported the decision was approved last week but that that the timing of the release was unclear as the State Department negotiated agreements with countries to take them.
The three men include the oldest detainee of Guantanamo, Saifullah Paracha, 73, of Pakistan, who was captured in 2003. Uthman Abdul al-Rahim Uthman, 40, of Yemen is the longest-held prisoner after being sent to Camp X-Ray in January 2002. Abdul Rabbani, 54, of Pakistan, was also sent to the detention centre in 2002.
This is a developing story.
