VOICED : Uruguay recibira presos de Guantanamo

Uruguay will accept Guantanamo prisoners as refugees, confirmed by President José Mujica. The US is considering closing the controversial detention center and has engaged with regional countries. Mujica, a former prisoner himself, supports this on human rights grounds. Uruguay will host five prisoners and their families, becoming the first regional country to accept the US request. The US Embassy in Montevideo values Mujica's leadership. Guantanamo, established in 2002, symbolizes the excesses of the US war on terror. Obama aims to close it, but many prisoners remain untried.
