Protests Across US to Raise Demand to Obama: Close Guantanamo NOW - NEWS

World Can't Wait
January 10, 2016

14 years of an illegitimate torture camp begun by the Bush regime and continued by the Obama administration will be marked over the next three days in protest actions around the U.S.

105 men remain at the prison, beyond the reach of U.S. law, though only 10 have been charged. About half have been cleared to leave for years, but the government has delayed releasing them.

The other so-called "forever" prisoners are being held without charge, with the government having no plans to try them, reportedly because they have been tortured.
