How does a detainee go from being "high risk" for 14 years to being released the next? All of a sudden the risk that was there just a few months ago no longer exists? All with no charges being filed. And if that's not bad enough, you send him back to a country that's not even his own!

Dudes a clown

Detaining anyone without charges or trial for years and years is unconstitutional, violates international law, and quite simply inhumane. The former detainee has exchanged his Gitmo cell for the larger one of Serbia, a country known for its anti-Muslim history and contemporary sentiments where his human rights were still being violated in 2017 (perhaps quietly encouraged by the Trump administration). He still has neither seen any charges that would justify his detention nor faced an impartial trial. But this must be according to the 6th Amendment to the Constitution, even if he is regarded as a terrorist. The Bush Administration seems to have thought the non-ratification of Geneva 1977 was a loophole, perhaps to protect the U.S. from being accused to violate it based on its involvement in protecting various dictators around the world at the time,.Article 45 states that "a person [non-military] taking part in hostilities and falls into the power of an adverse party shall be presumed a prisoner of war. ...until such time as his status has been determined by a competent tribunal." The extraterritorial argument that put Guantanamo outside the U.S and therefore U.S. law did not apply, was stricken down by the Supreme Court in 2004 in Rasul v. Bush in that the U.S. had extensive legal rights over Guantanamo, and that Guantanamo inmates had the right under Habeas Corpus to challenge their detention. In spite of that decision this inmate lingered in legal limbo for at least 10 more years until his extradition to Serbia where he still is suffering. I am surprised he has not committed suicide to escape such a life. No charge, no trial, no judgment, but lots of injustice as the footage of the Serbian officials in his apartment shows. No one knows if that man is dangerous or ever was. The United States ought to be ashamed.

Oh boy, I’m not even 2 mins in and reading some of the comments.. As a Serbian American, why tf would they send this man to Serbia of all places? They are intolerant of immigrants unless they are just quietly passing through on their way to the EU. Unless he was granted a long term visa, he can’t work, go to school, etc. I’m pretty sure he can’t get health care unless he’s a citizen. I have a feeling this episode is going to illicit strong angry emotions.. but here we go lol .. will report back.. ok after watching, he was sent there legally and without and foresight or programs set in place for him to rebuilt a life. Serbia has to keep checks on him which is frustrating, but he should at the same time have a rehab / resources for a chance at getting a job / counseling. Serbia isn’t tolerant of his situation and doesn’t know how to deal with it. They are exacerbating the situation. Do to the instability in Yemen, j understand that he can’t be send back there right now, but he should be at least send to Bosnia. Any non radicalized Muslim country where he can be around his peers and flourish in a place familiar to him where he knows the culture and have a support network. Poor guy - this is shit show. Ok, just watched. I didn’t know Serbia allowed him to come. Obviously they still treat him like shit and he has no prospects. I didn’t know that people from Yemen didn’t get sent back because of the instability caused by the Saudis, Iran, UAE, USA, etc. that sucks for him. They should have sent him to Jordan or somewhere Muslim and tolerant for the most part.

I was a guard at the Bagram facility in the early days of the war (2002), we had detainees who were turned in because a feuding family wanted to get rid of them and get paid. They were released after about a month or so, we drove them to Kabul and gave them back to their families. They were just innocent shepherds. We did have high value detainees that were absolutely guilty of terrorism. But some of them were just caught up in the process.

@@Boarquake I think it would probably be in the best interest of Al-Qaeda to just keep away from U.S. forces altogether, since they're not Afghan and would be easy to spot, especially with the help of Afghan citizens who were already serving as translators and helpers for U.S. forces. Also, if Al-Qaeda were falsely reporting Afghan citizens, that would then turn that community that they were hiding in, against them, and they would be even more exposed. So it's likely that any false reporting that were being done, were probably by ordinary Afghan citizens against other Afghans. Someone could report a neighbor that they didn't like for instance. But you'd think that the U.S. forces knew that false reporting could be a problem, so they probably did some research and investigation on both the reporters and those being reported before making any arrests. Still yes, even with precautions and measures taken to prevent false reporting and arrests, it's possible that some may've fallen through the cracks.

I read My Guantanamo Diary by Mahvish Khan and it was eye opening how absurd the U.S. system was to even get these people in Guantanamo. Because of the bounty system put in place by the U.S. in Afghanistan, people would report their families or people who they had a dispute or argument with. I have no doubt there are serious terrorists in Guantanamo, but they deserve a trial just like everyone else, which is even more important because of the innocent people in there. It might just be 1 person in there that is innocent, but I highly doubt it's 0. Holding people without a trial is banana republic shit, I can't believe there are people out there that will defend this practice.

Yes, maybe we do have legitimate 9/11 terrorists in gitmo, but then why not give them a trial already??! I just don’t understand it….

It’s time we close this internationally recognized facility of war crimes, violations of international law, and human rights. If you cannot charge them with a crime, you cannot lock them up. You certainly can not torture them.

So, any significant updates?

Goes to show that many of these Gizmo prisoners were never a threat to begin with. Which is why they never prosecuted them. Which is also why they just abandon them like that.

The idea that completely innocent individuals, anywhere in the world, can be arrested without charge and shlepped off to the transatlantic plantation colony, that the world knows as America, is a nightmare worse than any terrorist attack.

Good video about a subject we all should be aware of and concerned about. We know from our own failed “rehabilitation” of prisoners that releasing men who have in the very least questionable morality and motivations, without support or even a basic plan to live differently than the way of life that brought them into the prison system has a failure rate so great it should be embarrassing. Now add isolation and seething anger into the mix and you have a dangerous person who has a reason to hate. After we have all witnessed the utter failure of, what some would call, our coordinated withdrawal but I would call immediate surrender in Afghanistan, nobody should be surprised at the results of a rushed plan for the sole purpose of gaining immediate political capital without regard of the benefits or harm to the people of the United States or our“allies”. The importance of security is too great to be put in the hands of power hungry politicians who will sacrifice everything and anyone for their personal or Party benefit. Our government has developed a predictably terrible education system that, by design, keeps our population ignorant of the responsibilities plainly spelled out like a simple road map in our founding documents and debates of the citizens responsibility to control our own government so the natural tendency of those who gain power do not become tyrannical towards the people. This wonderful experiment of this Republic is on the very real edge of failure.

Better to let many innocent people languish in prison with no charges, no information, and no prosepects for release, than let another terrorist attack occur. That was the calculation and in the aftermath of 911, people didn't ask too many questions. Hard not to feel for Mr. Mansoor. If he's innocent it's an utter disgrace and a crime against humanity.

1:32 they had to set them free because they couldn't bring them to trial because torture.

Sorry but this guy still rubs me wrong. Reputations are hard to shake off, and he certainly has one. But what is more concerning is the way in which he escalates when the Serbian officials comes into his apartment. Things he said, like "I am very smart but very dangerous." and "I respect Serbian people- I promised I would never do anything in Serbia."Not exactly the words of someone who's as docile and innocent as he claims to be, or someone who just wants to move forward in life. Sounds like the words of someone holding a lot of resentment with plans to try to get to their 'safe haven' in order to act on that resentment, possibly in old habits. When he also said, "You will hear about it one day in another book-" when they mentioned Afghanistan, and his time there. It seemed like that was the only time he was REALLY scared to talk, and all the rest is BS so he can just try to get out of Serbia. There's a reason he's there. There's a reason they put cams in his place. It's not my place to judge, but if you end up in GItmo for 14 years, "your story" is not the only evidcence the US is going on to keep you there. You didn't wind up there because someone 'didnt like you,' and you sure as hell don't stay there for 14 years because a Karen called the cops on you. There's alway MORE to any story. I feel more sorry for the people in the Muslim camps, with no shower, food or clean water, and stuck for real for no other reasons than trying to escape terrorism and indoctrination, instead of coming from it.
