18 Years Of Guantanamo Is An American Disgrace 20
Washington DC, Saturday January 11, 2020. Around 120 peace and justice activists mobilized by Amnesty International, Code Pink, The Center For Constitutional Rights, Witness Against Torture, Defending Rights And Dissent and other groups rallied in Lafayette Park in front of the White House to protest the 18th Anniversary of the continuing barbaric, sadistic, cynical and completely unnecessary incarceration without charge or trial of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay Cuba. Our Disappointer In Chief President Barack Obama failed year after year to honor his promises to close this shameful facility, free the remaining inmates who were long ago cleared for release and transfer the rest of the men to incarceration in the United States where, hopefully, they can get more humane treatment and the due process under the laws they are entitled to. Our current Republican President Donald J. Trump promised not only to keep the Guantanamo prison complex open but to load it up with "bad dudes", Thankfully, the latter threat turned out to be just another one of his countless broken campaign promises. Still, it is extremely unlikely that anybody currently in Gitmo will be leaving until we Remove or Defeat 45. After the rally with speeches and some rousing live music we marched to the infamous Trump International Hotel where our sad yearly gathering dispersed.
