The transfer of Mohammed Farik bin Amin and Mohammed Nazir bin Lep means the U.S. has now seen a total of three detainee departures in just 24 hours.
Both detainees had previously pleaded guilty to serious offenses, agreeing to testify against the mastermind of the al-Qaeda attacks in Indonesia, showcasing their cooperation.
The Pentagon confirmed that as of now, 27 detainees remain at Guantanamo, with 15 eligible for a transfer, highlighting the ongoing efforts to reduce the population.
The U.S. aims to responsibly reduce the detainee population at Guantanamo and move towards ultimately closing the facility, reflecting a significant policy direction.
