KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza (Ma’an) — Dozens of Palestinians demonstrated at the Red Cross headquarters in Khan Younis Monday, calling for the return of a former Guantanamo detainee from Spain.
Walid Ibrahim Hijazi, from Gaza, was detained in America’s Guantanamo prison in 2001, and transferred to Spain in 2010 as part of a deal between the governments.
Hijazi is not permitted to leave the country.
Hilmi Hijazi, the detainee’s brother, said his brother used to work in Pakistan and was not known to be engaged in any terrorist activity.
Demonstrators in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis shouted slogans in support of his release.
