The United States Department of Defense acknowledges holding approximately one dozen Algerian detainees in Guantanamo.〔 〕 A total of 778 detainees have been held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba since the camps opened on January 11, 2002. The camp population peaked in early 2004 at approximately 660 before numerous detainees were released. Only nineteen new captives, all "high value detainees," have been transferred there since the United States Supreme Court's ruling in ''Rasul v. Bush'' (2004), which said that detainees had the ''habeas corpus'' right to challenge their detention before an impartial tribunal. On March 3, 2008 an Algerian delegation visited Guantanamo.〔 〕 At that time DOD reported seventeen Algerian nationals remaining in Guantanamo. ==Release negotiations== On June 23, 2008 the Algerian newspaper ''El Khabar'' quoted Farouk Ksentini, the head of Algeria's Advisory Human Rights Commission, about negotiations over the Guantanamo detainees' repatriation.〔 (mirror ) 〕 According to ''Al Khabar,'' Ksentini reported that the US had insisted on unacceptable conditions unacceptable to Algeria for transfer of the detainees to their country of origin. The article stated that Sandra Hodgkinson, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Affairs, had not been telling "the entire truth". The Department of Defense announced on July 2, 2008 that it had repatriated two Algerians.〔 (mirror ) 〕 The Department withheld the Algerians' identities without explanation. On July 3, 2008 Carol Rosenberg of the ''Miami Herald'' reported that the two repatriated Algerians were Mustafa Hamlily and Abdul Raham Hourari.〔 (mirror ) 〕 The Department of Defense announced on August 30, 2013 that it had repatriated two additional Algerians, who were identified as Nabil Hadjarab and Mutij Sayyab. This would bring the total number of remaining detainees at Guantanamo to 164. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Algerian detainees at Guantanamo Bay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
