Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the White House and Supreme Court Wednesday to mark the 10th anniversary of the U.S. prison at Guantánamo Bay. Demonstrators called for the closure of the prison and the end of the U.S. policy of indefinite detention.
Ann Tiffany, longtime activist from Syracuse, New York: “We want to send a very strong message to the White House, to the Supreme Court, to the Capitol, that in fact Guantánamo breaks international law, that prison is illegal, and action should be taken to close it. And I’m hoping that that message, with all of these people, will get through.”
