Repatriation

Al Juhani was one of sixteen captives repatriated on July 16, 2006.

Andy Worthington, the author of Wikipedia:The Guantanamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America's Illegal Prison, described him as a Koran teacher. He offered a quote from Al Juhani's Combatant Status Review Tribuanl transcript, characterizing his replies to his questioning as "grumpy":

Q	"Did you have a place to do that? Did you already contact the mosque or something where you were going to teach?"
A	"All these questions are in my files. Go back to the file and read the file."
