FRONTLINE and NPR followed the trail of one of the final detainees released by the Obama administration from the prison at Guantanamo Bay. (Aired 2017)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: www.pbs.org/donate.
When President Barack Obama first took office, he signed an executive order to close the controversial military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - where the U.S. has held terror suspects for years without charges. Though he didn’t succeed in closing Gitmo, a symbol of the post-9/11 “war on terror,” Obama made a final push to clear out the camp before President Donald Trump took over.
The documentary “Out of Gitmo” examines the challenges and complexities of releasing men who were once deemed “indefinite detainees” - those never charged with a crime but considered too great a risk to let go.
“Out of Gitmo” was a collaboration with NPR and WGBH News. The writer and producer was James Jacoby. The correspondent was NPR/WGBH News reporter Arun Rath. The senior producer was Frank Koughan. The senior investigations editor for NPR was Robert Little. “Out of Gitmo” was a production with Left/Right Docs. The executive producers for Left/Right Docs were Ken Druckerman and Banks Tarver. The executive producer for FRONTLINE was Raney Aronson-Rath.

How does a detainee go from being "high risk" for 14 years to being released the next? All of a sudden the risk that was there just a few months ago no longer exists? All with no charges being filed. And if that's not bad enough, you send him back to a country that's not even his own!

@susicolin5076 10 месяцев назад

Detaining anyone without charges or trial for years and years is unconstitutional, violates international law, and quite simply inhumane. The former detainee has exchanged his Gitmo cell for the larger one of Serbia, a country known for its anti-Muslim history and contemporary sentiments where his human rights were still being violated in 2017 (perhaps quietly encouraged by the Trump administration). He still has neither seen any charges that would justify his detention nor faced an impartial trial. But this must be according to the 6th Amendment to the Constitution, even if he is regarded as a terrorist. The Bush Administration seems to have thought the non-ratification of Geneva 1977 was a loophole, perhaps to protect the U.S. from being accused to violate it based on its involvement in protecting various dictators around the world at the time,.Article 45 states that "a person [non-military] taking part in hostilities and falls into the power of an adverse party shall be presumed a prisoner of war. ...until such time as his status has been determined by a competent tribunal." The extraterritorial argument that put Guantanamo outside the U.S and therefore U.S. law did not apply, was stricken down by the Supreme Court in 2004 in Rasul v. Bush in that the U.S. had extensive legal rights over Guantanamo, and that Guantanamo inmates had the right under Habeas Corpus to challenge their detention. In spite of that decision this inmate lingered in legal limbo for at least 10 more years until his extradition to Serbia where he still is suffering. I am surprised he has not committed suicide to escape such a life. No charge, no trial, no judgment, but lots of injustice as the footage of the Serbian officials in his apartment shows. No one knows if that man is dangerous or ever was. The United States ought to be ashamed.

Oh boy, I’m not even 2 mins in and reading some of the comments.. As a Serbian American, why tf would they send this man to Serbia of all places? They are intolerant of immigrants unless they are just quietly passing through on their way to the EU. Unless he was granted a long term visa, he can’t work, go to school, etc. I’m pretty sure he can’t get health care unless he’s a citizen. I have a feeling this episode is going to illicit strong angry emotions.. but here we go lol .. will report back.. ok after watching, he was sent there legally and without and foresight or programs set in place for him to rebuilt a life. Serbia has to keep checks on him which is frustrating, but he should at the same time have a rehab / resources for a chance at getting a job / counseling. Serbia isn’t tolerant of his situation and doesn’t know how to deal with it. They are exacerbating the situation. Do to the instability in Yemen, j understand that he can’t be send back there right now, but he should be at least send to Bosnia. Any non radicalized Muslim country where he can be around his peers and flourish in a place familiar to him where he knows the culture and have a support network. Poor guy - this is shit show. Ok, just watched. I didn’t know Serbia allowed him to come. Obviously they still treat him like shit and he has no prospects. I didn’t know that people from Yemen didn’t get sent back because of the instability caused by the Saudis, Iran, UAE, USA, etc. that sucks for him. They should have sent him to Jordan or somewhere Muslim and tolerant for the most part.

They were released after about a month or so, we drove them to Kabul and gave them back to their families. They were just innocent shepherds. We did have high value detainees that were absolutely guilty of terrorism. But some of them were just caught up in the process.

But Al-Qaeda was the organization that the U.S. was fighting, along with the Taliban who was the governing body of Afghanistan. Why would they receive any bounty? It would be those Afghans who were anti Al-Qaeda or anti Taliban that would be seeking the bounties, and possibly report innocent people.

@alakbar7870 5 месяцев назад

@@Boarquake I think it would probably be in the best interest of Al-Qaeda to just keep away from U.S. forces altogether, since they're not Afghan and would be easy to spot, especially with the help of Afghan citizens who were already serving as translators and helpers for U.S. forces. Also, if Al-Qaeda were falsely reporting Afghan citizens, that would then turn that community that they were hiding in, against them, and they would be even more exposed. So it's likely that any false reporting that were being done, were probably by ordinary Afghan citizens against other Afghans. Someone could report a neighbor that they didn't like for instance. But you'd think that the U.S. forces knew that false reporting could be a problem, so they probably did some research and investigation on both the reporters and those being reported before making any arrests. Still yes, even with precautions and measures taken to prevent false reporting and arrests, it's possible that some may've fallen through the cracks.

@byduhlusional 10 месяцев назад

I read My Guantanamo Diary by Mahvish Khan and it was eye opening how absurd the U.S. system was to even get these people in Guantanamo. Because of the bounty system put in place by the U.S. in Afghanistan, people would report their families or people who they had a dispute or argument with. I have no doubt there are serious terrorists in Guantanamo, but they deserve a trial just like everyone else, which is even more important because of the innocent people in there. It might just be 1 person in there that is innocent, but I highly doubt it's 0. Holding people without a trial is banana republic shit, I can't believe there are people out there that will defend this practice.

I think the only reason the US government held onto a lot of these detainees for as long as they did was because of fear of retaliation. But who could blame them for wanting to retaliate after the way we treated them? I’d be furious if I was tortured and imprisoned for 14 years without ever being charged with a crime and then just got dumped in a random county one day.

@jbower1214 8 месяцев назад

I definitely agree with this assessment…the US continuing to hold prisoners for fear of retaliation. I know I’d be pretty furious at a govt who detained me for years upon years with absolutely no charges at all (much less a trial). What boggles my mind is how long these prisoners have been held without even having a trial (much less being charged for a crime)! It’s absolute insanity!! Yes, maybe we do have legitimate 9/11 terrorists in gitmo, but then why not give them a trial already??! I just don’t understand it….

Good video about a subject we all should be aware of and concerned about. We know from our own failed “rehabilitation” of prisoners that releasing men who have in the very least questionable morality and motivations, without support or even a basic plan to live differently than the way of life that brought them into the prison system has a failure rate so great it should be embarrassing. Now add isolation and seething anger into the mix and you have a dangerous person who has a reason to hate. After we have all witnessed the utter failure of, what some would call, our coordinated withdrawal but I would call immediate surrender in Afghanistan, nobody should be surprised at the results of a rushed plan for the sole purpose of gaining immediate political capital without regard of the benefits or harm to the people of the United States or our“allies”. The importance of security is too great to be put in the hands of power hungry politicians who will sacrifice everything and anyone for their personal or Party benefit. Our government has developed a predictably terrible education system that, by design, keeps our population ignorant of the responsibilities plainly spelled out like a simple road map in our founding documents and debates of the citizens responsibility to control our own government so the natural tendency of those who gain power do not become tyrannical towards the people. This wonderful experiment of this Republic is on the very real edge of failure.

Sorry but this guy still rubs me wrong. Reputations are hard to shake off, and he certainly has one. But what is more concerning is the way in which he escalates when the Serbian officials comes into his apartment. Things he said, like "I am very smart but very dangerous." and "I respect Serbian people- I promised I would never do anything in Serbia."Not exactly the words of someone who's as docile and innocent as he claims to be, or someone who just wants to move forward in life. Sounds like the words of someone holding a lot of resentment with plans to try to get to their 'safe haven' in order to act on that resentment, possibly in old habits. When he also said, "You will hear about it one day in another book-" when they mentioned Afghanistan, and his time there. It seemed like that was the only time he was REALLY scared to talk, and all the rest is BS so he can just try to get out of Serbia. There's a reason he's there. There's a reason they put cams in his place. It's not my place to judge, but if you end up in GItmo for 14 years, "your story" is not the only evidcence the US is going on to keep you there. You didn't wind up there because someone 'didnt like you,' and you sure as hell don't stay there for 14 years because a Karen called the cops on you. There's alway MORE to any story.
