According to the Center for Constitutional Rights, "155 men remain detained at Guantánamo; most should never have been detained in the first place and are entering their 13th year of being deprived of their liberty without any charge or trial."
This is a national embarrassment, at best.
What you can do:
• If you are in the Washington, DC, area, or can get there this weekend: Join a rally and procession organized by a coalition of human rights organizations to mark the anniversary of Gitmo and to demand its closure. More info here.
• Whether or not you will be in DC: Sign this letter to President Obama urging him to free Yemeni prisoners who have been cleared for release, and to take further action to close Guantanamo.
