The use of Guantánamo Bay prison to house Muslim men detained under the guise of the War on Terror, has long been one of the most emblematic examples of institutionalized Islamophobia post 9/11. From torture to indefinite detention, Guantánamo has set the precedent for the treatment of Muslims post 9/11. Since the prison open to house War on Terror prisoners on January 11th, 2002, the population of men incarcerated has gone from 780 to 30. However, the injustice of these prison walls has continued to haunt those currently incarcerated and those who have been transferred out. Join the Guantánamo Survivors Fund and Muslim Counterpublics Lab for a conversation between Alka Pradhan and Dr. Maha Hilal on the current context of Guantanamo, what has transpired in the last 4 years of the Biden administration, what changes we can expect under Trump, and how we can continue to call for the closure of the prison, an end to torture, and accountability for all the men detained in this U.S. Naval Base in Cuba.
