It's up to us to help close the prison and restore justice for terrorism suspects around the world.
Call President Joe Biden [1] after his inauguration, and ask him to close Guantanamo Bay Prison, as he has said he wants to do. Read more here [2].
Contact both of your Senators [3] and ask them to block the confirmation of Avril Haines, President Biden's nominee for Director of National Intelligence. Read more here [4].
The Bush administration created the Guantánamo Bay prison in Cuba, a prison at Bagram air base in Afghanistan, and other offshore prisons as "law-free zones" that it believed were exempt from U.S. and international law, including the Geneva Conventions and the nearly 800-year-old writ of habeas corpus. The U.S. Supreme Court disagrees.
There are 40 detainees still at Guantánamo Bay prison; about half were cleared of any connection to terrorism years ago.
The prison at Bagram air force base in Afghanistan currently holds more than 1,500 detainees.
