Since 2002, the U.S. has imprisoned nearly 800 Muslim men and boys in Guantánamo prison. Today, 40 men remain. Most have never been charged with a crime, and none have had access to a fair trial. Many were tortured by the U.S., and all have suffered from the physical and psychological effects of indefinite detention for over a decade. The U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba is an enduring international symbol of injustice and torture, and it continues to cause profound harm to the 40 men who remain imprisoned. President Biden is currently reviewing policies with the goal of closing the prison — we must make sure that he moves quickly to end indefinite detention without charge or trial and close Guantánamo once and for all. With the 20th anniversary of the global "War on Terror" approaching, ending indefinite detention and closing the prison is a necessary step towards justice, accountability, and reconciliation. President Biden has said he intends to close Guantánamo. Now he must take action towards that goal. Thanks for all you do, Erin Tulley, Daily Kos. | |||||
