DESCRIPTION:January 11th marks 23 years since the shameful opening of the military 
 detention facility at Guantánamo Bay — a glaring and unconscionable 
 stain on the human rights record of the United States. Twenty-six Muslim 
 men are still detained there, most without charge. Fourteen of the men have 
 been cleared for release to other countries for many years, like Toffiq 
 al-Bihani, who was brutally tortured by the U.S. government. \n\nPlease 
 join Amnesty International, World Can't Wait and human rights defenders 
 around the globe as we urgently call on President Biden to end the ongoing 
 abuses at Guantánamo and close the detention center and ensure the 
 transfer of all cleared detainees to countries where their human rights 
 will be respected—before the end of his term. \n\nPlease join us in 
 calling Biden to follow his own advice:\n\n“America will not torture. We 
 will uphold the rights of those who we bring to justice. And we will close 
 the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay…. [W]e say to our friends that 
 the alliances, treaties and international organizations we build must be 
 credible and they must be effective. That requires a common commitment not 
 only to listen and live by the rules, but to enforce the rules when they 
 are, in fact, clearly violated”\n~U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, February 
 2009\n\nSign and share:
