To interview Andy Worthington, please contact him by email.
January 11, 2014 is the 12th anniversary of the opening of the “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, an experiment in extraordinary rendition, torture and indefinite detention without charge or trial that should never have opened. Since 2011, I have been visiting the US on the anniversary, to take part in events to raise awareness of the ongoing injustice of Guantánamo, and to call for the prison’s closure (see here, here and here), and this year is the fourth occasion on which I have braved the sometimes inhospitable weather of America in January to add my voice to those of others calling for Guantánamo to be closed, and the third year in which I have done so as the co-founder, with the attorney Tom Wilner, of the “Close Guantánamo” campaign, which we established on the 10th anniversary of the opening of the prison in January 2012.
This year, I will be visiting from January 8 to 21, and taking part in events in New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco and Los Angeles (my first ever visit!) from January 9 to 17, mostly with Debra Sweet, the National Director of the campaigning group the World Can’t Wait, who has organized my trip. Debra has been organizing my visits to the US since 2009, and it will be wonderful to spend time with her and with the other participants in the various events we have planned — who include the investigative journalist Jason Leopold, psychologist and anti-torture writer and activist Jeffrey Kaye, the former SERE instructor and anti-torture campaigner Michael Kearns, and Todd Pierce, a former military defense attorney, who represented men at Guantánamo who were put forward for trials by military commission. We will, at some events, be showing the excellent documentary film “Doctors of the Dark Side,” directed by Martha Davis, and the full itinerary is below (also see the Facebook page here, and see here for Debra’s post about the tour). POSTSCRIPT Jan. 10: Debra is unable to take part in the tour because of a head injury sustained just before it began. Everyone involved in the tour wishes her a speedy recovery.
For the last five years, of course, the ownership of Guantánamo has been in the hands not of George W. Bush and the Republican Party, but of Barack Obama and the Democrats, and it has, for the most part, been a dispiriting experience watching as fine words turned to inaction. After promising to close the prison by January 2010, President Obama failed to keep that promise, and although he released 64 prisoners from February 2009 to September 2010, those releases almost ground to a halt for the next three years, after Congress imposed onerous restrictions on the release of prisoners, and the president didn’t think it was worthwhile spending political capital overriding lawmakers, even though he had the power to do so.
This year, this inertia was finally challenged by the prisoners themselves, who, in desperation, embarked on a prison-wide hunger strike that succeeded in waking up the world’s media to the message that those dedicate dot the prison’s closure — myself included — had been emphasizing since the inertia began; namely, that over half of the remaining prisoners had been cleared for release by a high-level, inter-agency task force that President Obama established shortly after first taking office in 2009, and that continuing to hold men cleared for release was profoundly unjust and cruel; and, more generally, that the continued existence of the prison, and its default purpose of enshrining indefinite detention without charge or trial as something normal and not dangerously unacceptable, was intolerable.
As a result of the outrage generated by the hunger strike, President Obama was finally obliged to act, which he did in May by promising to appoint new envoys in the Pentagon and the State Department to assist with the release of prisoners and the eventual closure of Guantánamo, and to resume the release of prisoners.
Progress was initially slow, but envoys have now been appointed (Paul Lewis at the Pentagon and Cliff Sloan in the State Department), and prisoner releases have resumed — two men in August, and six more in December — bringing the prison’s population down to 158 men, exactly half of whom (79 men in total) were cleared for release by the Guantánamo Review Task Force, whose final report, after nearly a year of deliberations, was published four years ago, in January 2010.
More releases need to follow, as soon as possible — and, in particular, the deadlock regarding the Yemenis, who make up two-thirds of the 79 men cleared for release but still held, needs to be addressed — but this is undoubtedly progress, and it means that, for the first time on the anniversary of the opening of Guantánamo, the message that campaigners calling for the closure of the prison will be sending to President Obama will be both to encourage him to continue with what he has started, as well as reminding him that further inertia is not acceptable.
Thursday January 9, 2014, 7 pm: Screening of “Doctors of the Dark Side,” followed by Q&A with Andy Worthington, Todd Pierce and Debra Sweet
All Souls Church, 1157 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10075.
After arriving in New York City on January 8, this will be Andy Worthington’s first public event as part of the January 2014 “Close Guantánamo” US tour, featuring a screening of the powerful documentary film, “Doctors of the Dark Side,” directed by Martha Davis, followed by a Q&A session with Andy, Todd Pierce, a former military defense attorney, who represented men at Guantánamo who were put forward for trials by military commission, and Debra Sweet.
Co-sponsored by All Souls Church, No More Guantánamos, Psychologists for Social Responsibility and Revolution Books.

Friday January 10, 2014, 5.30 pm: Screening of “Doctors of the Dark Side,” followed by Q&A with Andy Worthington, Todd Pierce and Debra Sweet
Festival Center, 1640 Columbia Road NW, Washington, D.C. 20009.
On January 10, Andy Worthington, Debra Sweet and Todd Pierce travel from New York to Washington D.C. for a protest on January 11, the 12th anniversary of the opening of the prison at Guantánamo Bay. The evening before, they will take part in a Q&A session following a screening of the powerful documentary film, “Doctors of the Dark Side,” directed by Martha Davis.
See the event page here.
POSTSCRIPT: A video of Andy speaking at this event is below, filmed by Justin Norman.
Saturday January 11, 2014, 12 noon: Close Guantánamo Protest, White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20500.
“12 Years Too Many, No More Excuses, Close Guantánamo” is the tagline for the January 11 Day of Action to close Guantánamo. At 12 noon, there will be speakers outside the White House, followed by a procession to the Capitol and the Supreme Court beginning at 1 pm. The event ends at 2:30 pm.
Organized by groups including Amnesty International, Center for Constitutional Rights, Close Guantánamo, Code Pink, National Religious Coalition Against Torture, Witness Against Torture and World Can’t Wait.
As the organizers state, “This January 11, 2014 marks the unacceptable 12th anniversary of indefinite detention without charge or trial at Guantánamo. Join us in Washington, D.C. to witness this anniversary together, and to call on President Obama to finally fulfill his broken promise to shut it down. Obama has the power to close Guantánamo, and the new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA 2014) just approved by Congress makes it even easier for him to do so. 158 men remain detained at Guantánamo; most should never have been detained in the first place and are entering their 13th year of being deprived of their liberty without any charge or trial. They must be tried in a fair court or released; Guantánamo must be shut down.”

Thanks for sharing, Andy. I wish I had time to visit Chicago. However, I do hope, later in the year, to visit again for a mini-tour to promote a book of my writing that I’m planning to publish, which, if it happens, will include Chicago. I have seven years of material online, so I’m sure I can choose some of those articles to collect into book form to tell the story of what has – or hasn’t – happened since I wrote “The Guantanamo Files” in 2006-07. And if there’s anyone out there interested in helping in any way, do get in touch!

Very sad indeed, Jeff, that we’re required to be out there year after year, but as you know from history these kinds of monstrosities can, unfortunately, take decades to address. The problem this time around, it seems to me, is that it’s uncertain if there will be accountability, or if this is actually the start of the new dark ages, in which torture becomes accepted as something macho and necessary. However, at least “Zero Dark Thirty” isn’t opening in theaters this time around, and I am very much looking forward to spending some time with you.

Andy, apparently the Slovakian government announced they would be accepting three Uyghur captives back on 2013-12-27 — but it is only being widely reported today. As usual Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald offers a good perspective. Out of Guantánamo: December releases signal renewed effort
Reuters reports that the Slovakian government has pointed out that all of the captives it has offered asylum to had “never been suspected of nor charged with a criminal act of terrorism”.
I see this as a significant dig at previous generations of US negotiators, who insisted each released captive had to be the subject of a bilateral agreement, and that each captive’s bilateral agreement had to include expensive, onerous, draconian security measures, to assure the US the former captives could not pose a risk in future.
Years of covert surveillance, or even parole-like sign-ins — these security measures aren’t legal in countries that respect the rule of law — not when there is no evidence the individuals ever committed or contemplated committing a crime.
I am going to take the liberty of repeating part of the comment I left to Carol Rosenberg’s article:
...on January 2nd, 2014 at 10:16 pm
Andy Worthington says...
Thanks, arcticredriver. I’ve been having a few days off, hence the fact that I haven’t yet written about the release of the Uighurs. I think the draconian measures you mention have generally been an aspiration rather than a reality on the part of the US, because other countries have rightly concluded that it is unacceptable treatment for men treated so abysmally and never charged with anything. Unfortunately, I think it helped supporters of Guantanamo to dream up the restrictions on the release of prisoners that Congress imposed for the last three years, which largely brought a halt to prisoner releases because President Obama refused to take a position of leadership on the issue. That said, until Obama releases some Yemenis, the reality is that all the restrictions still stand, and the kind of unacceptable security measures you mention are still being called for. Sadly, I find, far too much mainstream reporting doesn’t question why it should be even remotely acceptable for there to be onerous security measures in place for prisoners who, long ago, a high-level task force cleared for release.
...on January 2nd, 2014 at 10:31 pm
arcticredriver says...
Andy, you are so hard-working, I am sure all your readers would encourage you to take time for yourself and for your family.
As to what extent the security measures have been aspirational:
I’d say that the McClatchy interviews revealed that many of the Afghan captives remained on some kind of parole, where they had to report in to Police HQ once a week.
The captives transferred to Italy were all promptly charged, convicted, and if I recall correctly, received heavy sentences.
Most of the French citizens faced charges, and had to go through years of appeals.
The first five Uyghurs, even though they had been cleared of all suspicion by their CSR Tribunals, were confined to their refugee camp. They were on a kind of day parole.
The Uyghurs transferred to Palau or Bermuda are constitutionally ineligible to apply for citizenship, and get a passport.
You have met most of the UK citizens and UK residents who were held in Guantanamo. I know one of those fellows was charged with assault. UK press reports described the former captive feeling a spurt of fear and rage when he saw a parking enforcement officer take a picture of his car, as part of giving him a traffic ticket, and he saw it as part of UK security officials clandestine monitoring of him. Didn’t Moazzam Begg recently have his passport de-authorized? Was that part of continuing monitoring by UK security officials? What do the former captives think?
IMO, while not as unpleasant as actual incarceration, forcing individuals to report to their police station, or placing their phone under a warrantless wiretap, or allowing the NSA, CSEC, GCHQ to monitor their email, is the same kind of transgression as years of extrajudicial detention.
It is intimidating. The 66 men McClatchy interviewed seemed disproportionately clinically depressed and fearful. They felt helpless. Some of them described how they feared their weekly check-ins at Police HQ would make the Taliban regard them as informants or collaborators, and that this put their lives at risk.
I agree that almost all reporters, even those I respect, have failed to challenge the bilateral secret negotiation model of prisoner transfer.
We know that some of the poorer countries which have accepted former captives either received covert payoffs for doing so, or worse, the decision makers may have received covert personal payoffs.
The year that Palau accepted the transfer of its Uyghur guests Palau received a generous transfer payment. It became the subject of a couple of local controversies there. IIRC one controversy focussed on relatives of the then President getting untendered agreements to house the Uyghurs, or build housing for them — presumably financed by the USA. IIRC another controversy focussed on the stipend the men initially received, because they didn’t speak Palaun, and had no local job skills or contacts. After a couple of years they stopped receiving the stipend. Reporting was pretty clear the stipend came directly from the USA. Implied was that poor accounting standards had allowed insiders in the Palau government had been able to drain the pay-off that was nominally to provide those stipends.
How many men would still be at Guantanamo if the USA had published a list of the men they felt ready to release unconditionally, and if they had published a list of those men they were ready to transfer if security measures satisfied them? What if they had been open that the countries willing to relieve them of the burden of holding men in extrajudicial detention could expect a transfer payment, and had let countries bid to accept them? What if they had to defend openly their suspicions against these men?
I believe most of those suspicions would evaporate. The secrecy intelligence officials have been allowed has served public safety very very poorly.
Of course the captives should have always been allowed to veto transfers to countries where they didn’t feel safe.

Andy Worthington says...
Thanks, arcticredriver. You make some very interesting points, to which I can only really add that in some cases you mention, and in others you don’t, attempts were made to ensure that those released were actually imprisoned on their return rather than being monitored or subjected to parole-like conditions. This, for example, happened to the Afghans returned after August 2007, after a wing of Kabul’s main prison, Pol-i-Charki, had been refurbished with US money, and this situation only changed when challenged by the men’s US lawyers and the Karzai government. And in the end, of course, US lawmakers decided they didn’t want any more Afghans released under any circumstances, following the dubious reports about recidivism that emerged regularly from the DoD and the DNI.
The Italian example you mention – of two Tunisian nationals sent to to Italy and subsequently prosecuted – was unusual, and I believe the example of the French prisoners shows what happened when the US aspiration – for continued imprisonment and/or prosecution – was followed up on, unlike, for example, in the UK. The former French prisoners certainly endured long years of legal pursuit by the state, but I don’t believe that it ended successfully for the French government. I do, however, think that other countries more aggressively monitored or harassed former prisoners – Saudi Arabia, for example, where I think a case can be made that only some prisoners went through rehabilitation, while others, as I have heard over the years, have been treated disdainfully by the government, and subjected to arbitrary imprisonment. One day, this should be more thoroughly investigated.
As for the Uighurs, that particular arrangement, in Albania, involved them being placed in a UN-controlled refugee camp.
I honestly think that the biggest problem has been the opaque system whereby countries have largely been bribed – or have volunteered for a bribe – to take in former prisoners who could not be safely repatriated, and the fact that there is no transparent system in place to determine how these men should be treated, hence the problems in Slovakia for the men freed there in 2010, who went on a hunger strike in protest, and the largely unreported problems in other countries.
