From NRCAT: We have two pieces of
good news to share with you. First, Congress has now passed key
provisions easing the restrictions on transferring Guantanamo detainees
to foreign countries. These provisions are included in the FY 2014
National Defense Authorization Act that already passed the House and
passed the Senate earlier this week. Passing these provisions is a key
victory in the battle to close Guantanamo.
Second, the
Administration recently repatriated two men from Guantanamo to Saudi
Arabia and two more to Sudan. The detainees are reported to have agreed
to these transfers. Please write to the President and thank him for transferring these four out of Guantanamo. These transfers bring us closer to the day when Guantanamo is finally closed.
Thank you for working with us this year to close Guantanamo. We are making progress.
