Manama: Bahraini Guantanamo Bay detainee Juma Al Dossary, who attempted suicide 13 times, was released yesterday, a human rights activist said. Al Dossary was among the 16 Saudis who returned from the US-run camp.

Nabeel Rajab told Gulf News that Al Dossary’s family said he arrived in Riyadh and was interrogated by the Saudi authorities before allowing him to see his daughter and relatives. “Al Dossary has dual citizenship and his family lives in Saudi Arabia.”

Rajab said that Al Dossary was looking tired and ill and his family attributed his condition to the sufferings in the last six years.

Rajab urged the Saudi authorities to allow Al Dossary to choose between living in Saudi Arabia or returning to Bahrain. “We don’t mind if Al Dossary lives in Saudi Arabia, but that should be his choice, not by force.”

The wife of Al Murbati heard the news and said in tears: “I’m happy for him [Al Dossary] and hope my husband will come home soon.”
