USA claims Yemeni prisoners are an impediment to the closure Guantanamo and Yemen deplores such statement By Iqbal Tamimi A Journalist and a Human Rights Activist 27 / 1 / 2008 Yemeni security source expressed their shock after reading some published media statements attributed to American officials in relation to the Yemeni detainees in Guantanamo, saying that these detainees represent the biggest obstacle to the closure of the jail. The Yemeni source confirmed to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the falsity of such statements made by American officials, who were said they felt that the Yemeni government would not take sufficient action to prevent the released detainees from returning to practice terrorism after their release. The Yemeni source described such insinuations as not based on proper basis. The source denied such accusations and said: “it is regrettable that Yemen is one of the first countries scorched the brunt of terrorism, and was most affected in terms of its economy losses and national investments." Yemen repeated its demands to close the Guantanamo detention and the extradition of all Yemeni detainees held in this prison and other USA jails, like Guantanamo prisoners Muhammad Ali Almoayyed, and Mohammed Zayed, and others. His Excellency President Ali Abdallah Saleh President of the Republic of Yemen requested of the American President George W. Bush to hand the Yemeni prisoners back to their country, and confirmed the willingness of Yemen to put those prisoners for a trial according to the evidence put forward against them. And he promised all those found guilty after trial according to the evidence submitted against them, will continue serving their sentences in Yemeni jails.
