The United States' criminal case against
Mohammed Jawad (right), the alleged child soldier about whom IntLawGrrls have posted
here, ended yesterday when he was
flown out of Guantánamo and home to Afghanistan. The U.S. Department of Justice
said of Jawad, who was between 12 and 16 years old when seized in 2002:
Jawad’s transfer was carried out under an arrangement between the United States and the government of Afghanistan. The United States has coordinated closely with the government of Afghanistan to ensure the transfer takes place under appropriate security measures and will continue to consult with the Afghan government regarding Jawad.
It remains to be seen whether an arrangement between the United States and the government of Canada one day will benefit the alleged child soldier at left, Canada-born
Omar Khadr.
