TAKE ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

THREE CLEARED TO LEAVE GUANTÁNAMO, STILL WAITING

USA UA 69.26

Three of the 15 men still detained at Guantánamo - Muieen Adeen Abd al Sattar (Omar al-Farouq), an ethnic Rohingya; Guled Hassan Duran, a Somali national; and Ismael Ali Faraj al Bakush, a Libyan national – remain detained despite being cleared for transfer by the U.S. government. Each has been detained for more than two decades. It has been nearly 25 years since the first “war on terror” detainees arrived at Guantánamo in January 2002.

Urge President Trump to facilitate these transfers and work to close the facility as matter of urgency once and for all - send your message using our email writing tool.

Dear President Trump,

I urge you to ensure the transfer of the three people still at Guantánamo who have been approved to leave by the U.S. government, based on a unanimous determination by U.S. military, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies.

The three men are Muieen Adeen Abd al Sattar (Omar al-Farouq), an ethnic Rohingya; Guled Hassan Duran, a Somali national; and Ismael Ali Faraj al Bakush, a Libyan national. Distressingly, each has been in U.S. custody for over two decades and remain detained and in limbo despite being approved for transfer.

The Guantánamo detentions were from the outset, and to this day remain, incompatible with international human rights law. After almost 25 years since the first detainees arrived, the facility continues to generate significant concern around the world because of the principles that have been flouted: indefinite detention without charge or trial, military commission proceedings falling short of international fair trial standards, torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment, and impunity for crimes under international law.

You have a unique opportunity to go down in history as the President to finally end this shameful chapter of U.S. history.

You have the power to transfer these three men to countries that will respect, protect, and fulfil their human rights; end the indefinite detention and unfair trials of the other people still held; and ensure accountability for torture and other-ill-treatment, including by releasing the Senate Select Intelligence Committee report on the CIA detention and interrogation program.

Sincerely,
