  Priti Patel, an associate attorney with Human Rights First, told IPS that "our basic view is that the U.S. should never transfer people to countries where it's more likely than not that the detainees will be tortured ... [When prisoners] raise fears of being tortured ... they should have these fears heard by an independent judge or court."
  
  According to the report, approximately 50 of the 355 detainees now held in Guantanamo Bay come from countries with known records of abuse -- such as Algeria, China, Libya, Tunisia and Uzbekistan -- and have told their attorneys that they do not wish to return home out of fear of being mistreated.
  
  Al-Hajji, says HRW, was convicted in absentia of participating in a foreign terrorist organisation in 1995 by a Tunisian military court, a charge he was only informed of upon his arrival in Tunisia, and one he says -- had he known about it -- certainly would have motivated him to ask not to be repatriated.
  ...
  "The U.S. has a legal responsibility not to send detainees to places they are likely to be tortured and it needs to make sure it doesn't violate that legal obligation," said Patel.
