20 Years Since Guantanamo Bay Opened | TOMORROW: Lessons from MLK

 
Guantanamo Bay Constructing a New Courtroom as 20th Anniversary Looms

With the 20th anniversary of Guantanamo Bay’s (GTMO) opening this year, the pressure and calls to close the American detention prison operating in Cuba have been seemingly left unheard. Although many presidents have promised to close the operations, there has yet to be an action that would result in the closing of the prison. Recently, the NYTimes reports that the Pentagon is building a secret courtroom at Guantanamo Bay, expected to start holding proceedings in mid-2023. 

 
20 Years Since GTMO Opened

It's been 20 years since GTMO has been opened, and 800 people, most without trial, or any evidence, have been held there. 39 remain, out of whom 14 are cleared for release.
