Shaker Aamer, Fayiz al-Kandari, Samir Moqbel and 163 other have been starving for over 100 days to get justice.

The debate the world is NOT having about Guantánamo Bay: why don’t countries do more to demand the repatriation of their citizens to help close Guantánamo?

Did Beyonce really lose that much weight? What diet did Kate Hudson go on? How does Kim Kardashian's weight alter so much? These are the daily questions that are plastered across tabloids and the answers are of such high interest to today's society. 

In this episode, Moazzam Begg discusses the case of Fayiz al-Kandari, one of the last two Kuwaitis left at Guantanamo. Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Bogucki and Lt. Col. Barry Wingard, the military defense lawyers for Fayiz al-Kandari, join Moazzam in the studio.

171 men are still held in the "war on terror" prison at Guantánamo Bay, even though an interagency task force established by President Obama concluded over two years ago that 89 of them should be released. 

Last week, the attorney Tom Wilner and the journalist Andy Worthington (the steering committee of the "Close Guantánamo" project) were in Kuwait to raise awareness of the ongoing detention of Fayiz Al-Kandari and Fawzi Al-Odah, the last two Kuwaiti citizens in Guantánamo, and to encourage the Kuwaiti people and the government to push for their release, after ten long years in the terrible experimental prison at Guantánamo Bay, where justice has gone missing, and arbitrary detention has become the norm.

Now that my first ever visit to Kuwait has come to an end — in which I was involved in events and discussions designed to raise the profile in Kuwait, and internationally, of the two remaining Kuwaitis in Guantánamo, Fayiz al-Kandari and Fawzi al-Odah — I feel as though I have been away from my home in London for weeks, and not just for five days, as the time was so busy.

Please sign this petition asking Attorney General Eric Holder to release Fayiz al-Kandari, a humanitarian aid worker in Guantanamo.

Fawzi al-Odah, who lost his habeas petition, asks the Supreme Court to consider why his continued imprisonment is unjust.

Andy Worthington tells the depressing story of how Fayiz lost his habeas petition, despite there being no evidence.
