Pakistani citizen Saif Ulla Paracha, the oldest prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, has been released and returned to his homeland, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said.
The Pakistani Foreign Ministry has completed an extensive inter-agency process to facilitate the repatriation of Parachi, the ministry said in a statement.
The man was detained with the Al-Qaeda group (the organization is recognized as a terrorist organization and banned in Russia). It was assumed that he helped two participants in the September 11 attacks to carry out a financial transaction.
Parachi spent 16 years in Guantanamo Bay.
