He added that they have not arrived to Algeria yet and their families will receive them soon.

Ksentini told Echorouk that the Algerian delegation verified their nationality and identity before receiving them. “All Guantanamo Algerian detainees are concerned by the release and many US human rights organisations headed by Human Rights Watch intervened to defence them.”

Asked what would happen to those detainees after their extradition, Ksentini said Algeria will not retrial them but it will study their case files one by one. It is possible that some of them would benefit from amnesty within the provisions of the National Reconciliation.
