Lithuania’s Public Television announced that Latvia agreed to host the Guantanamo detainee, who is originally from one of the Central Asian Republics. Lithuania, who promised to host a several detainees from Guantanamo, has changed its mind.
The Public Television informed that the President Grybauskaite has already decided not to host the detainees already back in October of 2009. This decision was based on the grounds of alleged CIA secret prison in Lithuania. She stated in a public statement that, ‘until the allegations of possible CIA prisons are suspended I will definitely not agree to hosting a prisoner’. The USA had asked Lithuania to host two Guantanamo inmates.
