Tariq El Sawah, former Guantánamo detainee transferred to Bosnia, dies at 68

Tariq El Sawah was a former detainee at the U.S. Guantánamo Bay prison. He was transferred to Bosnia after his release from Guantánamo. El Sawah spent almost 14 years in U.S. custody without ever facing trial. Throughout his detention, his health steadily declined. His deteriorating condition attracted attention from human‑rights observers. The lack of a courtroom hearing remained a point of criticism. El Sawah passed away at the age of 68. His death underscores ongoing concerns about indefinite detention practices.
