Judge Blocks Transfer of Detainees From Cuba
From Times Wire Reports
A federal judge has barred the U.S. government from transferring 13 Yemeni detainees from Guantanamo Bay out of concern for their safety.
The temporary restraining order requires the United States to keep the men at its military prison camp in Cuba until the court considers a motion that would require U.S. authorities to give lawyers 30 days’ notice before moving the detainees. U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer issued the temporary injunction Saturday.
