In the spirit of Ramadan, three detainees being held at the Bagram Theater Internment Facility were released early to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, yesterday.

The three individuals were scheduled for release at a later date but this process was expedited in order to reunite them with their families prior to the holy days.

As part of a reconciliation program called Program Takhim e Sol, they agreed not to take up arms and also swore allegiance to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

Their release was an initiative of the United States military, the Afghan government and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
