On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the first “war on terror” detainees’ arrival at Guantánamo on 11 January 2002, ECCHR and partners launched the publication of an anthology that presents a diverse range of personal insider accounts, expressed in writing, interviews and artistic visual mediums, that aims to not only stir reflections on the failings of the last twenty years, but also to highlight the humanity inside the walls of the notorious detention camp.
We would like to use the occasion to stimulate reflection upon the realities of Guantánamo with our publication and our digital art exhibition.

The online panel discusses the impact of Guantánamo and the legal struggle for the detainees and lawyers involved.

Moderated by Allison West (Senior Legal Advisor, ECCHR) in conversation with:

Mohamedou Ould Slahi (Former Detainee)

Katherine Gallagher (Senior Staff Attorney, CCR)

Wolfgang Kaleck (General Secretary, ECCHR)
