As Guantánamo’s 22^nd anniversary nears, Scott Roehm, CVT director of global policy and advocacy, spoke to Sacha Pfeiffer on NPR’s All Things Considered, about a letter CVT and coalition partners sent to President Biden, calling on him to close the facility. Scott commented about the 9/11 trial, for which men have been held in Guantánamo for decades, that “this has been called the most important criminal case in U.S. history, and yet for 16 years, the case has been spinning its wheels haplessly, this kind of rusty hamster wheel of injustice, and it’s still years away even from a trial.”
