Democratic lawmakers called on US President Joe Biden Thursday to immediately shut down the Guantanamo prison and either release or place on trial in federal courts the 39 remaining “war on terror” detainees there.
The prison has become a symbol of the excesses in the “war on terror” launched after the 2001 attacks. “According to reports, the prison costs over $500 million per year to operate, at a staggering annual cost of $13 million per prisoner,” they said. The prison was activated in late 2001 when the United States combed the world for members and supporters of Al-Qaeda complicit in the September 11 and other attacks against US assets and facilities.
