Our co-founder Andy Worthington assesses two mainstream media reports, from the New York Times and the Observer, about what to expect from Joe Biden regarding Guantánamo.

Very good news from Guantánamo, as, in the last days of Donald Trump's presidency, a Yemeni prisoner has been unanimously approved for release by a Periodic Review Board, a parole-type process established under President Obama.

A cross-post, with our introduction, of a detailed proposal for how Joe Biden can close Guantánamo, written for Just Security by Benjamin Farley, ex-Senior Adviser to the Special Envoy for Guantánamo Closure & current trial attorney in the 9/11 trial.

While congratulating President Elect Joe Biden for persuading enough people to vote Democrat to end the dangerous presidency of Donald Trump, we call on him to take the necessary steps to release prisoners from Guantánamo and to move towards its closure.

Depressing but important news about the threat by the United Arab Emirates to repatriate former Guantánamo prisoners from Yemen who were sent to the UAE between 2015 and 2017, where they were imprisoned instead of, as promised, being given new lives.

We highly recommend "Guantánamo Voices," a graphic novel telling the story of Guantánamo, written by Sarah Mirk and illustrated by some great artists, based on interviews with former prisoners, lawyers and others who know the truth about the prison.
