Guantanamo captive Hicks free

Australian David Hicks, a former kangaroo skinner who was the only person convicted on terrorism charges at a US military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay, is free after more than six years behind bars.

The 32-year-old was released from prison in his home town of Adelaide after completing a nine-month sentence under a plea deal that followed more than five years’ detention in Cuba without trial by the US.
