Freed Guantanamo Detainees: Where Are They Now?

Many inmates are imprisoned in their home countries after being released, while others start new lives.

US President Barack Obama is years overdue on his promise to shutter the notorious prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

In all, some 780 men have been held at the US facility.

Many prisoners left Guantanamo in the same manner they arrived: on military transport planes. Some of the men were even hooded and shackled.

Former prisoners are now living their lives in more than 56 countries, with the most being sent to Afghanistan, followed by Saudi Arabia, which has a rehabilitation centre. A great many were sent to Pakistan.
