Former Algerian Guantanamo detainee Lakhdare Boumediene to prosecute Bosnian and U.S authorities
Lakhdare Boumediene, a former Algerian detainee at Guantanamo, is preparing for the prosecution of the Bosnian and U.S authorities, on charges of arresting him unfairly without having reliable information about his involvement in terrorist attacks, or preparing to blow up the U.S embassy in Bosnia, which is the main reason to disrupt his visit to Algeria.

Sources close to the families of Algerian Guantanamo detainees said Lakhdare Boumediene, who was released recently, is now completing documents to have the French residency, in order to continue his normal life and return to work again, particularly, after the French president Nicolas Sarkozy promised in a former agreement with the U.S president Barack Obama, to help the Algerian detainee own a decent house and job.

Boumediene postponed his decision to visit Algeria in order to finish the French residence procedures. Now he is calling his lawyer in order to begin the prosecution of both the Bosnian and American authorities to compensation him for more than 8 years in detention, thing which separate him from his family and the rest of the world.

Previously, head of the Advisory Committee for the Human Rights’ Promotion, Farouk Ksantini, called the Algerian detainees to resort to the judicial authorities in order to recover their rights and rehabilitation, because it is not easy to get rid of the Guantanamo nomination, which is also called detention of shame. While lawyers of the Algerian detainees Lahmare Saber and Ben Sayeh Lakhdare continue their efforts to enable them return to Bosnia, where they used to live and where they were arrested as well, in light of the Bosnian authorities insistence to reject their demands arguing that they do not have the Bosnian citizenship.
