The US Department of Defense says Guantanamo Bay inmate, Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi has been repatriated to Tunisia.
The Department said in a statement that he was found eligible for transfer from the detention facility after a rigorous interagency review process.
Since 2002, the Guantanamo Bay detention facility has been used to hold what the US describes as captured unlawful combatants during America’s war on terror.
An unconfirmed report by the New York Times, disclosed that Yazidi was never charged and was approved for transfer more than a decade ago.
The newspaper also said he had been at Guantanamo Bay since the facility was first set up in 2002.
