Azerbaijani detainee of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba Polad Sirajov is being treated in the prison's rehabilitation center.

Head of the Azerbaijan Committee Against Torture, Elchin Behbudov told APA quoting Sirajov's family members. He said it is not known when the detainee will be handed over to Azerbaijan.

"It is reported that Polad Sirajov can be handed over to Russia by his own wish. Therefore, I refused by appeal to the US Embassy for monitoring the Guantanamo prison. There is no Azerbaijani citizen in the detention camp. So, there is no need for Azerbaijani organizations to monitor the Guantanamo," Behbudov said.
