The Guantanamo Human Rights Commission
“Did you know that there is a Guantanamo Human Rights Commission dedicated to ending all forms of internment without trial? Founded in January 2004, the site provides information on the latest on what’s going on with the military tribunals, how to write to civil liberties organizations, and action you can take daily to support civil liberties.”
“Some good news for the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. A U.S. judge has ruled that they do have constitutional protections under U.S. law and that the military tribunals process failed to meet the requirements for due process and for respecting prisoner’s rights. While setting a good precedent, the ruling is far from the last word. The government is promising to appeal the ruling and recently another judge dismissed the cases of seven other Guantanmo Bay prisoners, saying they had no rights at all.”
