Close Detention Facility at Guantanamo Bay

Created by A.M. on March 26, 2014

With a prison-wide hunger strike raging at Guantánamo, the world's media -- and people all around the world -- have woken up to the fact that a chronic injustice is still ongoing at Guantánamo, and that nothing will be done about it unless serious pressure is exerted on President Obama and on Congress, who, between them, have ensured that none of the remaining prisoners at Guantánamo -- 166 in total -- can leave the prison alive under any circumstances. This is a monstrous betrayal of all notions of justice and decency. The men at Guantánamo are indefinitely detained without charge or trial -- a situation that is unacceptable under any circumstances. In 2009, President Obama promised to close Guantánamo within a year. He didn't do it and is not doing anything about it. Please sign!
