U.S. Judge Bars Transfer of 13 Guantanamo Detainees

A federal judge has barred the U.S. government from transferring 13 Yemeni detainees from Guantanamo Bay out of concern for their safety.
The temporary restraining order requires the United States to keep the men at its military prison camp in Cuba until the court considers a motion that would require U.S. authorities to give lawyers 30 days' notice before moving the detainees.
The hearing, scheduled for March 24, will also assess the possibility the Yemeni detainees might be tortured or detained indefinitely if moved to Yemen or to another country.
Judge Rosemary Collyer of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued the temporary injunction on Saturday after lawyers for the 13 Yemeni detainees filed an emergency petition to stop what they perceived as an imminent transfer of the men.
