What happened : Saifullah Paracha, Pakistani who spent 16 years in custody without ever being charged with a crime, is among the ten eligible to be transferred out of the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. At 73, he is the oldest prisoner at the US base in Cuba. He was taken in custody on suspicion of helping facilitate two of the conspirators in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, U.S. authorities stated. Details : On May 18, a U.S. Defense Department official confirmed that the decision had been made to put Paracha and two other detainees into the “transfer eligibility category.” The camp had 40 detainees when the Biden administration came to power. The number was reduced to 39 after Monday’s release of a Moroccan detainee. Earlier, authorities announced that 10 will be transferred out of the prison. “Of the 39 detainees remaining at Guantánamo, 10 are eligible to be transferred out, 17 are eligible to go through the review process for possible transfer,” a senior administration official told journalists in Washington. “Another 10 are involved in the military commission process used to prosecute detainees and two have been convicted.”
And they were left to rot there. Except for some incredible lawyers, journos, academics & activists, these men& boys were left to rot in this prison because no one wanted to protest in solidarity of these brown &black Muslim men who had "terrorist" stamped onto their faces&lives.

The Guantánamo Bay detention camp is a United States military prison located within Guantánamo Bay Naval Base, also referred to as Guantánamo. The facility was infamously used to house Muslim militants and suspected terrorists captured by U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. The facility became the focus of worldwide controversy over alleged violations of the legal rights of detainees under the Geneva Conventions and accusations of torture or abusive treatment of detainees by U.S. authorities.
