Some Vermont attorneys have been doing pro bono work representing detainees in the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This week, attorneys David Sleigh and Robert Gensburg were informed that their client Abdul Zahir has been cleared for release, 14 years after he was imprisoned in the controversial facility.
Gensburg talked to Vermont Edition to provide more information about this development, including the still unknown timeline as to when Zahir can actually leave the prison and the work still to be done to see if he can return to Afghanistan upon his release.
