The United States refused to free from Guantanamo a starving 8 years a prisoner who has been on the verge of life and death. According to the Russian Air Force Service , the US Ministry of Justice has been relevant to the federal court in Washington.

According to the submitting request for the release, the lawyer of the native of Yemen Tarik Ba Odah, his client "weighs only 34 kg and is on the verge of death." Since 2007, the Odakh has been forced to be forcibly twice a day, as he declared an unlimited hunger strike.

AR recalls that the prisoner has been contained in the Guantanamo prison without charges since 2002. US authorities suspect him of relations with al-Qaeda. At the same time, five years ago, a decision was made to deport the Odach to Yemen.
