Sami al-Hajj, a cameraman for Al Jazeera, had not tasted freedom since 2001.
But now he is in his homeland Sudan after spending six years at the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he was held without charge or trial.
The frail and sick-looking man was delivered to the Sudanese authorities in Khartoum. There he had an emotional reunion with his family as he arrived at hospital.
Amr El-Kahky, who worked with al-Hajj before his imprisonement, went to meet him and sent this report.
