Despite Promise, US Clings to Control over Bagram Prison

Despite Promise, US Clings to Control over Afghan Prison | Common Dreams: 

"The U.S. supposedly handed over control of the military prison, a facility that has been marked by a history of torturous conditions and other human rights abuses, to the Afghan government in March.
However, the U.S. military has maintained its authority within the prison's walls including complete control over 67 non-Afghan prisoners.
The insistence by the U.S. against Afghanistan's planned releases does not bode well for the strained relationship between the two countries still mired in over a decade of war and a contentious bilateral security deal currently being negotiated."
