> The Department of Defense announced today the transfer of Saiid Farhi from
> the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay to the Government of Algeria.
> Farhi was ordered released by the U.S. District Court for the District of
> Columbia on Nov. 19, 2009.
> 
> As directed by the President’s Jan. 22, 2009, executive order, the
> interagency Guantanamo Review Task Force conducted a comprehensive review
> of this case.  As a result of that review, which examined a number of
> factors, including security issues, Farhi was approved for transfer by
> unanimous consent among all six agencies on the task force.  In accordance
> with Congressionally-mandated reporting requirements, the administration
> informed Congress of its intent to transfer this individual.
> 
> The United States is grateful to the Government of Algeria for its
> willingness to support U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention
> facility.  The United States coordinated with the Government of Algeria to
> ensure the transfer took place under appropriate security and humane
> treatment measures.
> 
> Today, 173 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay.
