Guantanamo

Guantanamo Prisoners in Orange

Now is the Time to Finally Close Guantánamo

The military prison at Guantánamo Bay represents grave violations of human rights by the U.S. government. As it enters its 21st year of existence as a center for indefinite detention, it continues to hold 30 Muslim men, most without charge, none having received a fair trial. Many, like Toffiq al-Bihani, were tortured by the U.S. government. Seventeen of the detainees, including al-Bihani, have been cleared for transfer to other countries yet remain behind bars.
