Washington, September 23 (RHC)-- The Barack Obama administration has transferred a Guantánamo Bay prisoner who staged a nearly nine-year hunger strike back to his native Saudi Arabia.

Abdul Shalabi was taken to Guantánamo in 2002, accused of being a bodyguard for Osama bin Laden. He launched a hunger strike in 2006 to protest his indefinite detention without charge. His release leaves 114 prisoners at Guantánamo, 52 of whom are cleared for release.
