    • Abstract:
      FEATURES One afternoon in July, flanked by about 10 protesters in orange jumpsuits, the lawyer Gary Thompson stood outside the cultural attaché office of the United Arab Emirates in Washington, D.C. Speaking into a microphone, he called on the UAE to stop its apparent plan to send his client, a former Guantánamo detainee, back to Russia, where he would likely be jailed and tortured. Mingazov was wary at first, as many other detainees were when lawyers started arriving to represent them, but he soon warmed to the two men, who assisted him with his Administrative Review Board hearing, a process that determined whether a detainee still presented a threat to the United States. When asked later about the recent repatriation of six Yemenis held in the UAE, a spokesperson wrote that the UAE "affirmed that the resettlement would be conducted with the consent of the former detainees" and thanked the UAE for hosting them. - Gary Thompson Still behind bars: A protester outside the UAE's cultural attaché office demands that the country free its ex-Guantánamo detainees.
