Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. Transfers 3 Guantánamo Prisoners to Italy and Serbia

HeadlineJul 12, 2016

Seventy-six prisoners remain in the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay, after the U.S. transferred three prisoners in the past 48 hours. Yemeni citizen Fayiz Ahmad Yahia Suleiman is being sent to Italy after being approved for transfer nearly six years ago. Yemeni national Mansur Ahmad Saad al-Dayfi and Tajik national Muhammadi Davlatov were both sent to Serbia. Twenty-seven more prisoners remaining at Guantánamo have already been approved for release. President Obama promised to close the prison at the beginning of his first term in office nearly eight years ago.
