U.S. TO TURN BAGRAM PRISON OVER TO AFGHANISTAN
Afghanistan judiciary will try the inmates.

"Hundreds of inmates held without trial at a controversial prison on a US base will be allowed to challenge their detention through the courts when Afghanistan takes over the jail... the prison at Bagram Air Field north of Kabul has been compared to the Cuba-based Guantanamo Bay detention centre and Abu Ghraib in Iraq due to harsh treatment of prisoners detained there without charge.... Afghans have long been asked why, when we have a legal government, our citizens are taken away never to be heard from again... "
