– MOHAMMED JAWAD TO BE RELEASED FROM GUANTANAMO
–
The Obama administration said, on Wednesday 07/29/2009, it will release Mohammed Jawad, 23, who has been held at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp since 2002.
Earlier this month officials admitted that there was no military case for Mohammed Jawad continued detention. But government lawyers had said they wished to keep him in detention pending a possible criminal prosecution.
Mohammed Jawad was arrested in Afghanistan in 12/2002, after being accused of throwing a grenade at a jeep and injuring two US soldiers and their interpreter. His lawyers say he was 12 years old at the time of his arrest, although Pentagon officials say a bone scan indicates that he was actually 17.
Shortly after his arrest, he was transported to the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, where he is still being held. On Friday 07/24/2009, US authorities said they no longer considered him to be a military prisoner.
Observers say the decision could mean that other Guantanamo detainees will also be released. Mohammed Jawad returned to Pakistan, on Tuesday 08/25/2009.
