KABUL, Afghanistan — Seventeen Afghans came home Tuesday from the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and one accused the U.S. military of abusing him, despite warnings from a senior Afghan official to keep quiet about any complaints.

Shavers said the 17 Afghans and the Turk were cleared of suspicions of terrorist links during a tribunal review process that ended recently. Five others cleared in late March were sent home, and 15 more await transfers.
The Afghan men, nearly all bearded and most wearing denim jackets bearing numbers, were handed over to Afghan authorities during a ceremony at the country's Supreme Court hours after they arrived from Cuba.
Referring to journalists gathered in the room for a news conference, Chief Justice Fazl Hadi Shinwari said, "Don't tell these people the stories of your time in prison, because the government is trying to secure the release of others, and it may harm the release of your friends."
