A federal judge has temporarily blocked the U.S. government from transferring disabled prisoner Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi to Iraq, citing potential risks to his health and treatment.
Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, 63, is the oldest detainee at Guantanamo and has severe health issues requiring special care, raising concerns about his treatment in Iraqi custody.
Judge Emmet G. Sullivan's order prevents the transfer without consent, highlighting the need to address claims of inadequate health care and potential abuse in Iraq.
The Defense Department was set to transfer Mr. al-Hadi to Iraq following a 30-day notice to Congress, but the judge's ruling requires thorough consideration of his situation.
