A 42-year-old Pakistani man who spent nearly half his life in U.S. custody — first in a secret CIA prison where he was tortured, then at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba — has been released after suing the Biden administration for unlawful imprisonment. He was resettled in the small Central American country of Belize.

Majid Khan is the first "high-value detainee" — a government term for prisoners who were held at the CIA's so-called black sites — to be released from Guantánamo. He is also the first inmate to be transferred by the Biden administration to a country other than his nation of origin; Khan's lawyers said he could not be safely sent to Pakistan because he had cooperated with U.S. authorities.

"I deeply regret the things that I did many years ago, and I have taken responsibility and tried to make up for them," Khan said in a statement. "The world has changed a lot in twenty years, and I have changed a lot as well."
