They will gather for a week of events marking a tragic and ongoing history: After 16 years, the US detention camp at Guantánamo remains a living symbol of US torture and human rights abuses and a place of misery for the 41 Muslim men it still houses. Five of the men have been long cleared for release and yet still languish there. The Trump administration is holding 26 of the detainees for indefinite detention without charge or trial. The Pentagon has plans to try only a small handful of the prisoners. EventList powered by schlu.net Copyright © 2024 War Criminals Watch. All Rights Reserved.
