Uruguay's President Jose Mujica has confirmed his country will resettle six Guantanamo Bay prisoners on humanitarian grounds.

President Mujica was himself held for over a decade in terrible prison conditions during his country's period of military rule in the 1970s and 80s.

He made the decision to take detainees from Guantanamo in March but the move was delayed until after the elections in November.

An October opinion poll showed 58% of Uruguayans were opposed to bringing in the prisoners.

Newspaper reports say they are expected to arrive by Tuesday morning.

“As Nisman points out, the Iranians have been actively setting up intelligence and operational structures in Latin America since the 1980s,” said Douglas Farah, a senior fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center.

And that infiltration has progressed since, Farah notes.

Nisman’s report said Iran’s intelligence activities in Latin America are being conducted directly by Iranian officials or through a key surrogate, the Hezbollah Islamic militant group. “Criminal plans” by Iran could be under way in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago, the report said.

Likely and with assistance from the funds we probably paid Uruguay to take them.
