  • Urge President Trump: Close Guantánamo

The military prison at Guantánamo Bay represents grave violations of human rights by the U.S. government. Now in its 24th year of existence as a center for indefinite detention, it continues to hold 15 Muslim men. Six have never been charged. None have received a fair trial. Three of the detainees have been cleared for transfer to other countries yet remain behind bars.
