CCR and others gave expert testimony. They discussed how Guantanamo causes psychological harm, deaths, indefinite detentions uncharged, lack of fair trials, and "illegitimate US policies" restricting the facility's closure.
They reiterated demands, including:
- closing Guantanamo immediately;
- acknowledging ongoing torture and other human rights abuses; and
- demanding "full access" to all detainees.
An earlier CCR report headlined " 11 Years and Counting: Profiles of Men Detained at Guantanamo ." It explains America's horrific treatment. Holding detainees uncharged was highlighted.
Injustice defines US policy. Individual profiles explain best. Horrific human rights abuses persist. Obama bears full responsibility. Justice remains denied.
