22 yrs ago the US seized Abu Zubaydah in Pakistan & embarked on one of its greatest crimes of the 21st century - the CIA torture program. Tortured for 4.5 yrs in "black sites", held at #Guantanamo for 17.5 yrs w/o charge, last year the UN called for his release, but were ignored

New release by our co-founder @GuantanamoAndy @fourfathers1 to coincide with Julian Assange's last UK appeal against his extradition to the US. Andy worked with Julian & @Wikileaks on the hugely important release of the #Guantanamo files back in 2011.

In under 5 minutes, at a rally in London, I explain why men still held at #Guantanamo today are as fundamentally without rights as they were when the prison first opened over 22 years ago as a place intended to be beyond the law youtube.com/watch?v=K4KDTt…

One year ago: the 1st ever visit to #Guantanamo by a UN Rapporteur, @NiAolainF & her team, which led to a devastating report in June, concluding that conditions at Gitmo NOW amount to "ongoing cruel, inhuman & degrading treatment" & "may also meet the legal threshold for torture"
Fionnuala Ní Aoláin@NiAolainF

Wanted to reflect on this week a year ago and the visit to Guantánamo & the significance of US decision to allow access to the #GITMO detention facility and those detained. Hugely important personally to visit the 9/11 site & meet w/ courageous families. ohchr.org/en/special-pro…

It’s now 22 years to this month, since the Guantanamo Bay detention facility was opened. I joined campaigners in London to mark this anniversary in protest, reaffirming calls for its closure and the release of detainees held inhumanely without charge.
