Western media: Kazakhstan accepts five Guantanamo prisoners

36
Information Agency Reuters reports that five prisoners of the American prison Guantanamo are being transferred to Kazakhstan. The agency writes about the transfer to Kazakhstan of two Tunisians and three citizens of the state of Yemen. Other news agency - France-Presse confirms the information about the transfer of five prisoners to the territory of Kazakhstan.

Western media: Kazakhstan accepts five Guantanamo prisoners


FP states that the decision to transfer prisoners of Yemeni and Tunisian origin from Guantanamo (Cuba) to Kazakhstan was "made unanimously." At the same time, it is not specified who specifically mentioned the unanimity was noted between.

In addition, it is not reported whether these prisoners will be held in the prisons of Kazakhstan or, through Kazakhstan, they will be released to their homeland.

A few days ago, US President Barack Obama reiterated that the Guantanamo prison should be disbanded. Judging by the information received, the disbandment is somewhat strange: the US “shoves” prisoners in other countries. One, for example, agreed to "shelter" in one of her prisons Estonia. If Kazakhstan also decided to contain prisoners in prisons located on its territory, then questions arise to the leadership of Kazakhstan ...

To date, 127 people are being held in Guantanamo USA prison.

            1) Kazakhstan and before the Crimean-Donbass conflict had military-technical cooperation with the Ukrainians. Thanks to their specialists, the Kazakhs repaired their planes, launched an armored repair plant, and a project is underway to create the production of armored vehicles (BTR-4) in Kazakhstan. Russia is in no hurry to engage in such projects. Your hands do not really reach even a simple repair of Kazakh military equipment.
            If you imagine arms supplies from Kazakhstan to Ukraine, then these are your personal problems.
            2) And how are Kazakhs blackmailed? Prohibit European gas and horse meat supplies to Kazakhstan?

          There is no problem! They’re not sent to prison - but on the contrary, they give shelter

          See at http://www.zakon.kz/4678844-kazakhstan-soglasilsja-prinjat.html

          "...." According to the information of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan as an authorized body, five asylum seekers arrived in Kazakhstan on December 31 of this year. Previously, they were released by the US Government from detention from the Guantanamo base, due to the lack of sufficient grounds to bring charges against them for committing crimes, ”the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

          The report notes that “the Republic of Kazakhstan agreed to accept these persons on the basis of their personal appeals and the relevant application of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), as well as being guided by international obligations undertaken, including in accordance with the 1951 Refugee Convention g., and on the basis of humanistic considerations. "

          According to the Foreign Ministry, these people were granted the status of asylum seekers.

          They asked for refuge from us. Three citizens of Yemen and two from Tunisia. Released due to insufficient evidence. The insanity is that some 11 years spent in prison, and the Americans could not prove guilty during this time. belay .
          Refugee status is not assigned, but the fact of arrival is confirmed.

          But how to remove it?
          The Guantanamo base has been leased from Cuba on a contractual basis since the 1903 of the year when the text of the so-called Platt amendment to the draft United States Army Budget Act was included as an annex to the Cuban Constitution. In this agreement, in particular, a fixed rental price was established - “2000 pesos in the United States gold currency” per year.
          The current status of the base is regulated by the agreement of the 1934 year, concluded after a series of coups in Cuba at the beginning of the 1930-s. As a result, the base usage fee was raised to $ 3400. The agreement itself is “perpetual” and can be terminated “only by mutual agreement of the parties, or in case of violation of the terms of the lease.” [2] The lease is carried out on the basis of extraterritoriality, which in particular means that fishing in the bay for the local population prohibited.
          In fact, the United States exercises its state sovereignty in this territory unconditionally and in full, and the Cuban jurisdiction is purely formal in nature, which is recognized by the US Supreme Court in the Boumedien case (2008); “From a practical point of view, Guantanamo is not a foreign country,” the judges decided.
          After the victory of the 1959 revolution, the Cuban state refused to accept the rent for the base indicated above, and after the appearance in 2002 in the prison base, it tried (unsuccessfully) to terminate the lease agreement and achieve the evacuation of the base, arguing that this was a violation of the lease terms.

        Five former prisoners at Guantanamo Prison, who spent more than 10 years in it, were sent to resettle in Kazakhstan, Reuters reports. This case was the first, when Kazakhstan agreed to accept Guantanamo prisoners under the resettlement program.

        Most likely these are citizens of Kazakhstan who were recruited by ISIS, Al-Qaeda or some kind of Hizbut-Tahrir and fought, where the thread is in Syria, Afghanistan, etc.

      The ex-ambassador of Kazakhstan in Vienna is accused of the murder of two bank top managers in his homeland in 2007.

      Former prisoners of Guantanamo arrived in Kazakhstan in search of asylum, Tengrinews.kz was informed in the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan with reference to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

      According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as an authorized body, on December 31 of this year, five asylum seekers arrived in Kazakhstan. Previously, they were released by the US government from imprisonment from Guantanamo Base, due to the lack of sufficient grounds for charging them with crimes.

      "The Republic of Kazakhstan agreed to accept these persons on the basis of their personal appeals and the relevant petition of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), as well as guided by the international obligations assumed, including in accordance with the 1951 Refugee Convention, and based on humanistic considerations, "- said in a press release.

      It is noted that these people are granted the status of asylum seekers. A decision to recognize them as refugees has not been made and will be considered by the Ministry of the Interior in accordance with national legislation.

      It is also reported that the costs associated with the arrival and subsequent stay of these persons in the Republic of Kazakhstan are covered by international human rights organizations.

      Earlier, the media, citing the Pentagon, disseminated information that five prisoners who had spent more than 11 years in the American prison of Guantanamo were transferred to Kazakhstan.

      It was reported that three citizens of Yemen (Asim Tabit Abdullah Al-Khalaki, Muhammad Ali Husayn Hanayan and Sabri Muhammad Ibrahim Al-Kurashi) and two citizens of Tunisia (Adel Al-Nakimi and Abdullah Bin Ali Al-Lufti) were being transferred to Kazakhstan.

        Some former Guantanamo prisoners, whose guilt was unproven and therefore released, are afraid to return home for various reasons. First of all, because they believe that it is unsafe for them.
        In this regard, the UN Office for Refugees has asked various countries to support them in case victims should seek asylum in these countries.
        Usually, ex-Guantanamo residents are asked to go to the countries of the European Union, but in this case, it turns out that five Arabs asked to go to Kazakhstan. The UN Office notified the Kazakh side of their request.
        The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan agreed to temporarily accept these people until the issue of granting refugee status to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan is resolved.
        If it is confirmed that it is dangerous for them to return to their homeland, and they do not pose a threat to Kazakhstan, then most likely they will be given refugee status in Kazakhstan with all the consequences.
        And there is no need to play the fool or throw feces like "Kazakhstan has betrayed us! Help!"
        Humanism should remain for refugees from Tajikistan, and for refugees from Karabakh, and for ex-presidents, and for Muslims innocently convicted in an American prison.
        Although, if you want to find "enemies" out of the blue, then for God's sake - go ahead.
