The author of the best-selling memoir "Guantánamo Diary," Mohamedou Ould Slahi has been cleared for release after being held at the military prison for 14 years without charge.

A panel of national security, intelligence, and other officials determined Ould Slahi posed no significant threat to the US and paved the way for his release.

Slahi, the author of the best-selling memoir "Guantánamo Diary," appeared before the Periodic Review Board on June 2, according to the ACLU.

The government of his native Mauritania has said that it would welcome him home.

"We are thrilled that the PRB has cleared our client," said Nancy Hollander, one of Slahi's attorneys.

"We will now work toward his quick release and return to the waiting arms of his loving family. This is long overdue."
