Close Guantánamo on Clubhouse

Description

The camp was established by US President George W. Bush's administration in 2002 during the War on Terror following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Indefinite detention without trial and torture led the operations of this camp to be considered a major breach of human rights by Amnesty International and a violation of Due Process Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments of the United States Constitution. Bush's successor, US President Barack Obama, promised that he would close the camp, but met strong bipartisan opposition from the US Congress, which passed laws to prohibit detainees from Guantanamo being imprisoned in the U.S.

During President Obama's administration, the number of inmates was reduced from about 245 to 41.

In January 2018, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to keep the detention camp open indefinitely. In May 2018, the first prisoner was transferred during Trump's term.
40 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay.

In early February 2021, the Biden administration declared its intention to shut down the facility.
