      1. 1/ AFP reports that an ex-Gitmo detainee, Younis Shokuri (also spelled Yunis Chekkouri), who was repatriated to Morocco in 2015 has been acquitted of terrorism charges. citizen.co.za/news/news-africa/1823105/morocco-prisoners-us-guantanamo-trial/

      2/ Morocco's handling of Shokuri was something of an international incident. He was detained on suspicion of terrorism charges after the US was given diplomatic assurances that he would not be. I wrote about that here: nytimes.com/2015/10/02/us/politics/guantanamo-yunis-abdurrahman-shokuri-morocco-reprieve.html

      4/ Soon after that article, he was freed - but still not out of potential legal trouble. nytimes.com/2016/02/12/world/africa/ex-guantanamo-detainee-is-freed-from-moroccan-prison.html

        5/ I lost track of what was happening to him after that. So now I guess the story has an ending. citizen.co.za/news/news-africa/1823105/morocco-prisoners-us-guantanamo-trial/
