Why? Guantánamo is a global symbol of human rights violations and lawlessness
by the US government. According to military experts it is counterproductive to
security. We call on President & Congress to: Close Guantánamo & end abuses at
Bagram; end indefinite detention & military commissions; charge and fairly try
detained men in federal court or release them; ensure accountability for torture &
other serious abuses; fully investigate; prosecute and provide remedy for victims;
counter Islamophobia underpinning Guantánamo & US detention policies more
broadly; and ensure security with human rights.
