Re: Sign the petition: President Biden must close Guantánamo prison

Friend, President Biden is making an effort to reduce the population at Guantánamo prison, but we must continue to demand full closure! [Sign the petition: President Biden must close Guantánamo prison.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( The Biden administration has [transferred]( its first detainee out of the Guantánamo Bay detention facility, sending a man to his home country years after he was recommended for discharge. This move demonstrates Biden is making efforts to reduce the Guantánamo population, which now stands at 39, a process that stalled under Trump. This is a first step, but it’s not enough. Guantánamo prison is a human rights violation and catastrophic failure. It is a global symbol of injustice and abuse. We must demand its full closure!

Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding Biden close Guantánamo prison: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, [sign the petition: President Biden must close Guantánamo prison.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Since 2002, the U.S. has imprisoned nearly 800 Muslim men and boys in Guantánamo prison. Today, 40 men remain. Most have never been charged with a crime, and none have had access to a fair trial. Many were tortured by the U.S., and all have suffered from the physical and psychological effects of indefinite detention for over a decade. The U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba is an enduring international symbol of injustice and torture, and it continues to cause profound harm to the 40 men who remain imprisoned. President Biden is currently reviewing policies with the goal of closing the prison — we must make sure that he moves quickly to end indefinite detention without charge or trial and close Guantánamo once and for all.
