The Provincial Council for our Province of Chicago joined 100+ other organizations in signing this petition renewing the call to close Guantanamo Bay.
As organizations committed to human rights and the rule of law, we reaffirm a unified and unequivocal call:
Transfer without delay the six men who are not charged with a crime; end the failed military commissions and resolve pending cases; permanently close Guantánamo, without repurposing the facility for any future detention regime; hold perpetrators of U.S. crimes accountable; and provide redress to those whose fundamental human rights the U.S. has violated.
