Two Tunisians held at the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have been sent to Italy where they will face prosecution, American and Italian authorities said on Monday.
Abel Ben Mabrouk bin Hamida Boughanmi and Mohammed Tahir Riyadh Nasseri were handed over to the Italian authorities where they face arrest warrants, the US Justice Department said. Authorities did not describe the pending charges.
“Both the detainees are the subject of detention orders by Italian judicial authorities and they will be put on trial in Italy,” the Italian Justice Ministry said in a statement.
Nasseri was captured in Afghanistan and Boughanmi was caught on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Both men previously lived in Italy and have been held at the Guantanamo prison for more than seven years.
Meanwhile an Algerian man who had been detained at the US prison camp at Guantanamo in Cuba since 2002 has been transferred to France, the French Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
The ministry named the man as Saber Lahmar and said he had been cleared of all terrorism charges by courts of justice in several countries including the United States.
