The United States has released 11 Yemeni detainees from Guantanamo Bay as part of efforts to reduce the population and possibly close the facility.
The Pentagon acknowledged Oman's support in the transfer, highlighting ongoing US attempts to responsibly manage the Guantanamo detainee situation.
Shaqawi al Hajj was among those released, having protested his detention with multiple hunger strikes after being held for over two decades without charge.
Guantanamo Bay was established as a detention center for prisoners captured during the 'war on terror' post-9/11, yet it has seen many uncharged detainees.
