Sixteen former Guantanamo prisoners unite to denounce President Trump's executive order to detain undocumented migrants at Guantanamo Bay. They argue that the prison, known for its harsh conditions and lack of legal rights for its inmates, is being used to further strip individuals of their dignity and freedom. The signatories emphasize their experiences of suffering and injustice within the prison, warning that extending these practices to migrants is a continuation of systemic abuse. They call for an end to this order and urge for Guantanamo's closure, highlighting the ongoing need to fight against injustices linked to indefinite detention.
We, the undersigned former Guantanamo prisoners, strongly condemn US President Donald Trump's executive order to expand detention facilities for undocumented people at Guantanamo Bay.
Guantanamo does not just allow abuse; it ensures cruelty. This executive order does not just enable injustice; it guarantees it.
This is not about security; it is about power, control, and using Guantanamo's darkness to conceal yet another injustice.
We refuse to stay silent. We refuse to let others be swallowed by the same nightmare we endured. No one deserves to be thrown into a system built to erase them.
