Five men from Yemen were freed from the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and transferred to Estonia and Oman for resettlement, marking the first movement of detainees so far in 2015, the Department of Defense announced late Wednesday, NBC News reported. "The United States is grateful to the government of Oman for its humanitarian gesture and willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility," the statement said. The move leaves 122 prisoners remaining at the Cuba facility.
