"His immediate release and relocation to a third safe country are long overdue," a group of 12 UN special rapporteurs on arbitrary detention, forced disappearances and other human issues, wrote in their letter to the outgoing president. Biden has one week to effect his promised closure of Guantánamo

Zubaydah is one of the 15 inmates left imprisoned"There are no outstanding charges or allegations against him that might give rise to legitimate concerns, but there is a moral and legal imperative to act urgently to get him out of Guantánamo," says Helen Duffy, head of Human Rights in Practice. Three others have already been cleared for release. One of them - Muieen Abd Al-Sattar, a Rohingya Burmese man with Pakistani citizenship - was cleared for transfer 15 years ago.
