Description

After nearly 20 years at Guantanamo Bay with no charges against him, Mohammed al-Qahtani has what some attorneys describe as ‘generations’ of lawyers defending him. Last year, he was the closest he’d ever been to going home. But Donald Trump’s administration changed that and this week, President Joe Biden will have a chance to reverse that decision. What this administration does will send a signal about their resolve to close the US military prison for good.In this episode:Ramzi Kassem, a Professor of Law at the City University of New York; Shezza Abboushi Dallal (@ShezzaADallal) and Dana Jabri (@d_jabri), student attorneys at CLEAR.Connect with The Take: Twitter (@AJTheTake), Instagram (@ajthetake) and Facebook (@TheTakePod)
