"Saudi to free Guantanamo returnees during Ramadan"
(Reuters)
22 September 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "RIYADH - Saudi Arabia is temporarily releasing all Guantanamo Bay returnees held in Saudi jails to spend the Muslim holy month of Ramadan with their families, an official said on Friday.
The United States this year sent 29 Saudis home after negotiating a framework agreement with Saudi Arabia for the return of its citizens from the controversial prison.
”All those detainees who came back from Guantanamo are being released for the whole month of Ramadan, to fast Ramadan with their families and celebrate Eid with their families,” Interior Minister spokesman Mansour al-Turki said.
“They will be back after Eid to complete the related procedures,” he said, adding they were serving various sentences. The Muslim fasting month of Ramadan begins this weekend and is followed by the Eid Al Fitr holiday.
Turki said the authorities had already released some over the past month to spend several days with their families in a programme he described as a success.
In August, Saudi authorities said 9 returnees had been freed for lack of evidence against them."
