The USA must treat Guantanamo as a human rights issue or the legacy will live on even if it's closed

Ten years on more than 150 detainees remain at Guantánamo Bay. The majority are in indefinite detention without charge or trial. Those who have been charged face unfair trial by military commission and some can face the death penalty if convicted. The government claims that even those found not guilty can be returned to indefinite detention. There has been essentially no accountability or redress for the human rights violations to which they and other detainees have been subjected.

Human rights concerns in Guantánamo Bay remain an unfinished story. How long before the US government closes the book on Guantánamo and meets its human rights obligations?

    • USA PRISON STATISTICS NO BETTER. 50,000 people, long term solitary confinement. PER PERSON MORE PRISONERS THAN COMMUNIST CHINA.
      Now with indefinite detention, FEMA camps activated,each camp holds close to a million caged humans. Please recall that American Indians were killed off by WHITE MEN who were trying to enslave them. Indians refused slavery so they shipped in Black People. Indian reservations or concentration camps were first invented by USA. Remember Japanese relocation camps well now you will have Protesters relocation camps. TRADITION! It was HENRY Ford that inspired Hitler, IBM CEO WATSON THOUGHT HITLER WOULD WIN, so IBM INVENTED THOSE TATOOS YOU SEE ON JEWS. General MOTORS=ALFRED SLOAN TOOK HITLER OFF THE HORSE INTO TRUCKS. KNOW YOUR HISTORY AMERICA, indefinite detention says it all soon door to door gun removal.
      GOOD LUCK AMERICA
