Ben Parzybok says,
Guantanamo prisoner Adel Hamad -- we've been working to have him released -- is home in Sudan with his family. This is great news. His case was covered previously on Boing Boing here: Guantanamo detainee's lawyers post video to YouTube, and Campaign to save man imprisoned at Gitmo.

Here's our post at Project Hamad regarding his release and that of a fellow Sudanese.

USA Today says that Adel Hamad spoke up for Sudanese Al-Jazeera cameraman (who has been on hunger strike) when he returned home, saying that his health was worsening.
