The reason why they have to do something is highlighted by people like Amnesty International:
Quote:
CLOSE GUANTÁNAMO
Hundreds of people remain detained in Guantánamo, without charge and with little hope of a fair trial.
Despite international outrage and the US authorities’ own stated wish to close the camp, Guantánamo is still holding detainees illegally.
Hundreds languish in cruel, inhuman and degrading conditions, including detainees who have been cleared for release.
Detainees continue to be transferred to the camp from secret CIA custody and elsewhere, confirming Guantánamo’s role at the heart of the US network of unlawful detention.
Guantánamo is a symbol of injustice and abuse. It must be closed down.
Amnesty International is urging the US government to close Guantánamo in a transparent manner which fully respects the human rights of those detained and brings to fair trial all those who are accused of recognizable crimes.
