International Affairs in the MFA's Consular Department.
Baigazin said that he could not immediately tell us the
status of the Guantanamo detainees previously transferred to
Kazakhstan, but reassured us that they were under close
supervision by "the relevant agencies." He promised to
research their status and get back to us as soon as possible.

all three returned detainees were living and working freely
in Kazakhstan. End Note.) We will follow up with the MFA
