Support for the uncharged men still at Guantanamo

 My last posting was about support for the men that have been released from Guantanamo but still suffering. My last client was released just about a year ago and although he is now at home with his family the continued struggle is real. Thank you for any support you are able to provide to Saeed and the other men.

This post is about the 16 men still at Guantanamo who have never been charged with a crime. These men have been languishing for up to 23 years. Waiting to be released.  There suffering is also very real. The attorneys, like me, who have represented men at the base continue to provide support to those men- especially during Ramadan.

Here is your way to help:

We need your support to give Ramadan gifts to the men still at Guantanamo (those who are not charged). While the Ramadan gift packages cannot make up for continued imprisonment, they do bring comfort and let the men know they are not completely forgotten. The gift package for each man includes zamzam water, tahini, halawa, dates, pastries, sweets, coffee (and similar food items), perfume, shoes or sandals, a thobe and a shirt.

You can make a tax-deductible donation here. If you prefer to use Zelle, the email is donation@hrtlaw.org, and please include contact information so your contribution can be acknowledged. Checks can be made out to Healing and Recovery after Trauma and sent to 2300 18th St NW, Unit 21074, Washington DC 20009.
