January 11, 2025, marks 23 years since the first group of Muslim men and boys captured in the “War on Terror” were sent to Guantánamo Bay prison. Following the transfer of 11 men this week, 15 remain detained, including six who have never been charged. The Center for Constitutional Rights is proud to co-sponsor this rally in Los Angeles as activists come together to stand in solidarity with those who remain imprisoned and demand that the Biden administration take urgent action to close the prison.

  • Jim Lafferty, National Lawyers Guild LA
  • Ryan Wentz, Code Pink
  • Michael Rapkin, Guantánamo Bar
