Human rights groups decry US plan for Guantanamo camp for Cuban migrants
"The 85 groups plan to submit the joint letter to US senators and House representatives, expressing their profound concern with comments made last month by a top Department of Defense commander."
"The United Nations already warned in February that Cuba could be on the brink of a humanitarian collapse following Donald Trump's attempts to block oil supplies from reaching the island."
"We call on you to act without delay to ensure not another dollar goes towards the detention facilities at Guantanamo, ensure the base is never again used for unlawful mass detention of any group of people."
Dozens of human rights organizations are opposing the Trump administration's proposal to establish a migrant camp for Cubans at Guantanamo Bay. A letter to Congress expresses concern over comments from a Department of Defense commander regarding potential migrant detention due to a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. The United Nations has warned of a looming humanitarian collapse in Cuba, exacerbated by US sanctions. The organizations demand an end to the use of Guantanamo for unlawful detention and call for the cessation of punitive policies contributing to the crisis.
