JAKARTA - The US government, through the Pentagon, said it had transferred 11 Yemeni men to Oman this week after being held on charges for more than two decades at the US Navy (AL) base in Coal Bay, Cuba.

Citing AP, Tuesday, January 7, the transfer is the latest and largest attempt by the Joe Biden Administration to reduce prisoners who have never been charged with any crimes in their possession.

After the transfer on Monday, January 6, the total number of men detained in my house was 15 people.

As for the details, six people who have never been charged but are still detained, two inmates who were sentenced, seven people charged for the 2001 attacks, the 2000 USS Cole bombing, and the 2002 bombings in Bali, Indonesia.

The number of 15 prisoners in prison is currently the lowest since 2002, the year when US President George W. Bush's Administration turned its home to a place of detention for most Muslim men under the US pretext of "war against terror."

According to the US-based Constitutional Rights Center, the transferred detainees included Shaqawi al Hajj, a man who had staged a hunger strike protest who had to be hospitalized repeatedly at his desk for 21 years in prison without charges and was tortured for two years in CIA custody.

A number of attempts have urged the US Government to close its arms have been carried out by human rights groups and a number of US lawmakers. They also demanded to release all detainees who have never been charged with any crimes in their homes that had detained as many as 800 people.

For more than two decades, the US Government has often reasoned that it is looking for a country that is suitable for accepting prisoners who have never been charged but detained in prison.

Many of those trapped in Exploration come from Yemen, a country divided by war.

Sultanate Oman has spoken out regarding the transfer of his US detained citizens without charges in dictation. The Sultanate admitted that he did not accept prisoners from the US on Tuesday, January 7 morning.
