HeadlineJan 15, 2015

Five Yemeni prisoners have been freed from the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay. Four were sent to Oman while another has gone to Estonia, the first time either country has agreed to take in former prisoners. The five had been cleared for release for many years, but the United States has refused to send them to Yemen. The Pentagon says there are now 122 prisoners left at Guantánamo.
